Psalm 76

PSALM 76

The Victorious Power of the God of Jacob.

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.

¹God is ^aknown in Judah;

His name is ^bgreat in Israel.

²His ^1atabernacle is in ^bSalem;

His ^cdwelling place also is in Zion.

³There He ^abroke the ¹flaming arrows,

The shield and the sword and the ²weapons of war.

³Selah.

⁴You are resplendent,

¹More majestic than the mountains of prey.

⁵The ^astouthearted were plundered,

¹They sank into sleep;

And none of the ²warriors could use his hands.

⁶At Your ^arebuke, O God of Jacob,

Both ^1brider and horse were cast into a dead sleep.

⁷You, even You, are ^ato be feared;

And ^bwho may stand in Your presence when once ¹You are angry?

⁸You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;

The earth ^afeared and was still

⁹When God ^aarose to judgment,

To save all the humble of the earth.

Selah.

¹⁰For the ^1awrath of man shall praise You;

With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.

^11aMake vows to the Lord your God and ^bfulfill them;

Let all who are around Him ^cbring gifts to Him who is to be feared.

¹²He will cut off the spirit of princes;

He is ^1afeared by the kings of the earth.
