Psalm 76

God, the Powerful Judge

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of * Asaph. x A song.

God is known in Judah;

His name is great in Israel. y

His tent is in Salem, z

His dwelling place in * Zion. a

There He shatters the bow’s flaming arrows,

the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. b * Selah

You are resplendent and majestic

coming down from the mountains of prey. c

The brave-hearted have been plundered;

they have slipped into their final sleep.

None of the warriors was able to lift a hand. d

At Your rebuke, God of Jacob,

both chariot and horse lay still. e

And You—You are to be * feared. f

When You are angry,

who can stand before You? g

From heaven You pronounced judgment.

The earth feared and grew quiet h

when God rose up to judge

and to save all the lowly of the earth. i Selah

10 Even human wrath will praise You;

You will clothe Yourself

with their remaining wrath. j k

11 Make and keep your vows

to the Lord your God; l

let all who are around Him bring tribute

to the awe-inspiring One. m n

12 He humbles the spirit of leaders;

He is feared by the kings of the earth. o
