Psalms 76
76
Psalm 76#In Hebrew texts 76:1-12 is numbered 76:2-13.
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.
1God is renowned in Judah;
in Israel his name is great.
2His tent is in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.
3There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.#76:3 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verse 9.
4You are radiant with light,
more majestic than mountains rich with game.
5The valiant lie plundered,
they sleep their last sleep;
not one of the warriors
can lift his hands.
6At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both horse and chariot lie still.
7It is you alone who are to be feared.
Who can stand before you when you are angry?
8From heaven you pronounced judgment,
and the land feared and was quiet—
9when you, God, rose up to judge,
to save all the afflicted of the land.
10Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise,
and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.#76:10 Or Surely the wrath of mankind brings you praise, / and with the remainder of wrath you arm yourself
11Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them;
let all the neighboring lands
bring gifts to the One to be feared.
12He breaks the spirit of rulers;
he is feared by the kings of the earth.

76
The Majesty of God in Judgment
To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1In #Ps. 48:1, 3Judah God is known;
His name is great in Israel.
2In Salem also is His tabernacle,
And His dwelling place in Zion.
3There He broke the arrows of the bow,
The shield and sword of battle.
Selah
4You are more glorious and excellent
#Ezek. 38:12Than the mountains of prey.
5#Is. 10:12; 46:12The stouthearted were plundered;
#Ps. 13:3They have sunk into their sleep;
And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands.
6#Ex. 15:1–21; Ezek. 39:20; Nah. 2:13; Zech. 12:4At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep.
7You, Yourself, are to be feared;
And #(Ezra 9:15; Nah. 1:6; Mal. 3:2; Rev. 6:17)who may stand in Your presence
When once You are angry?
8#Ex. 19:9You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
#1 Chr. 16:30; 2 Chr. 20:29The earth feared and was still,
9When God #(Ps. 9:7–9)arose to judgment,
To deliver all the oppressed of the earth.
Selah
10#Ex. 9:16; Rom. 9:17Surely the wrath of man shall praise You;
With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself.
11#(Eccl. 5:4–6)Make vows to the Lord your God, and pay them;
#2 Chr. 32:22, 23Let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared.
12He shall cut off the spirit of princes;
#Ps. 68:35He is awesome to the kings of the earth.
