Psalms 76
76
PSALM 76.
1Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph.
2I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.
3In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:
4I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.
5My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.
6I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.
7And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.
8Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?
9Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?
10Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?
11And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.
12I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.
13And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.
14Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?
15Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:
16with thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.
17The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.
18Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:
19the voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.
20Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.
21Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron

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.
