Psalms 76

Psalm 76
For the music leader. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.
1God is known in Judah;
his name is great in Israel.
2His dwelling place became Salem;
his habitation was Zion.
3It was there that he broke the fiery shafts of the bow,
the shield, the sword—even the battle itself! Selah
4You are ablaze with light,
mightier than the mountains that give food.
5The bravehearted lie plundered.
They sank into deep lethargy.
All the strong troops
couldn’t even lift their hands!
6At your rebuke, Jacob’s God,
both chariot and horse were stopped dead-still.
7You! You are awesome!
Who can stand before you when you are angry?
8You have announced judgment from heaven.
The earth grew afraid and fell silent
9when God rose up to establish justice,
when God rose up to save all of the earth’s poor. Selah
10Even human rage will turn to your praise
when you dress yourself
with whatever remains of your wrath.#76.10 Heb uncertain
11Make promises to the LORD your God and keep them!
Let all around him bring gifts to the awesome one.
12He breaks the spirit of princes.
He is terrifying to all the kings of the earth.

Psalms 76
76
Psalm 76
For the choir director; on stringed instruments; a psalm by Asaph; a song.
1God is known in Judah.
His name is great in Israel.
2His tent is in Salem.
His home is in Zion.
3There he destroyed flaming arrows,
shields, swords, and weapons of war. Selah
4You are the radiant one.
You are more majestic than the ancient mountains.#76:4 Greek, Syriac; Masoretic Text “mountains of prey.”
5Brave people were robbed.
They died.
None of the warriors were able to lift a hand.
6At your stern warning, O God of Jacob,
chariot riders and horses were put to sleep.
7You alone must be feared!
Who can stand in your presence when you become angry?
8From heaven you announced a verdict.
The earth was fearful and silent
9when you rose to judge, O God,
when you rose to save every oppressed person on earth. Selah
10Even angry mortals will praise you.
You will wear the remainder of ⌞their⌟ anger.
11Make vows to the Lord your God, and keep them.
Let everyone around him bring gifts to the one who must be feared.
12He cuts short the lives of influential people.
He terrifies the kings of the earth.
