Psalm 76

Psalm 76

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.

^*God is renowned in Judah;

in Israel his name is great.^a

His tent is in Salem,^b

his dwelling place in Zion.^c

There he broke the flashing arrows,^d

the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.^e

You are resplendent with light,^f

more majestic than mountains rich with game.

The valiant^g lie plundered,

they sleep their last sleep;^h

not one of the warriors

can lift his hands.

At your rebuke,ⁱ God of Jacob,

both horse and chariot^j lie still.

It is you alone who are to be feared.^k

Who can stand^l before you when you are angry?^m

From heaven you pronounced judgment,

and the land fearedⁿ and was quiet—

when you, God, rose up to judge,^o

to save all the afflicted^p of the land.

Surely your wrath against human beings brings you praise,^q

and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.

Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them;^r

let all the neighboring lands

bring gifts^s to the One to be feared.

He breaks the spirit of rulers;

he is feared by the kings of the earth.
