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.

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.
