Psalms 76:1-12

People in Judah know God. People in Israel know he is great. He lives in Jerusalem. His home is on Mount Zion. There God broke the flaming arrows, the shields and swords of war. Selah God, how wonderful you are! You are more wonderful than the hills full of animals. The brave soldiers were stripped as they lay asleep in death. Not one warrior had the strength to stop it. God of Jacob, when you spoke strongly, horses and riders fell dead. You should be feared. Who can stand against you when you are angry? From heaven you gave the decision. And the earth was afraid and silent. God, you stood up to judge and to save the people of the earth who were not proud. Selah People praise you for your anger against evil. Those who live through your anger are stopped from doing more evil. Keep your promises to the Lord your God. From all around gifts should come to the God we worship. God defeats great leaders. The kings on earth fear him.
