Psalms 76
76
Praise to God for His Rescue of Israel
For the music director, with stringed instruments.
A psalm of Asaph. A song.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1God is known in Judah.
His name is great in Israel.
2His den#Or “shelter”; but the image of the lion appears in view has been in Salem,
his lair#Or “refuge” in Zion.
3There he broke the flames of the bow,
the shield and sword and battle. Selah
4Radiant#A possible change in the Hebrew text yields, “You are feared, majestic …” a form found in vv. 8(7), 13(12). This is possibly reflected in the reading of Theodotian you are, majestic,
from#Or “more than” the mountains of prey.
5The stouthearted are plundered;
they sleep their sleep,
and all the able men cannot use#Literally “find” their hands.
6At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both rider#Hebrew “chariot,” that is, charioteer and horse slumber.
7You, indeed, are to be feared,#Literally “You, feared you are”
and who can stand before you
when you are angry? #A slight change in the vocalization of the MT yields, “from the strength of your anger”
8From heaven you proclaimed judgment.
The earth feared and was still
9when God rose for justice,
to save all the afflicted of the land. Selah
10For the anger of humankind will praise you.
You will put on the remnant of anger.#Hebrew “angers”
11Make vows and fulfill them to Yahweh, your God;
let all surrounding him
bring tribute to the one to be feared.#Hebrew “to the fear”
12He cuts off the spirit of leaders.
He is to be feared by the kings of the earth.

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.
