Psalm 76:8–12

8 From heaven you pronounced judgment,

and the land feared and was quiet—

9 when you, God, rose up to judge,

to save all the afflicted of the land.

10 Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise,

and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.

11 Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them;

let all the neighboring lands

bring gifts to the One to be feared.

12 He breaks the spirit of rulers;

he is feared by the kings of the earth.

8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven;

The earth feared, and was still,

9 When God arose to judgment,

To save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:

The remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

11 Vow, and pay unto the Lord your God:

Let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.

8 From heaven you sentenced your enemies;

the earth trembled and stood silent before you.

9 You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God,

and to rescue the oppressed of the earth.
