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.

Psalm 76
76
Who Can Stand Before You?
To the choirmaster: with #Ps. 4, title stringed instruments. A Psalm of #See Ps. 50, titleAsaph. A Song.
1In Judah God is #Ps. 48:3known;
his name is great in Israel.
2His #Ps. 27:5; Lam. 2:6 abode has been established in #Gen. 14:18 Salem,
his #Ps. 9:11; 74:2dwelling place in Zion.
3There he #Ps. 46:9; [Ezek. 39:9]broke the flashing arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah
4Glorious are you, more majestic
# [Isa. 14:25; Ezek. 39:4] than the mountains full of #Nah. 2:13prey.
5 #
Isa. 46:12 The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
#
Ps. 13:3; 2 Kgs. 19:35; Jer. 51:39; Nah. 3:18 they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
were unable to use their hands.
6At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both #Ex. 15:1, 21rider and horse lay stunned.
7 #
Ps. 47:2 But you, you are to be feared!
Who can #Ps. 130:3stand before you
when once your anger is roused?
8From the heavens you uttered judgment;
#
2 Chr. 20:29, 30; [Hab. 2:20] the earth feared and was still,
9when God #[Ps. 9:7, 8]arose to establish judgment,
to save all the humble of the earth. Selah
10Surely #[Ex. 9:16]the wrath of man shall praise you;
the remnant#76:10 Or extremity of wrath you will put on like a belt.
11 # See Ps. 50:14 Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;
let all around him #See Ps. 68:29 bring gifts
to him who #Ps. 89:7; Gen. 31:42, 53; Isa. 8:13is to be feared,
12who #[Isa. 18:5] cuts off the spirit of princes,
who #See Ps. 47:2is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
