Psalm
Psalms, 76
To the director on stringed instruments. A melody. Of Aʹsaph. A song.
1 God is known in Judah; In Israel his name is great.
2 And his covert proves to be in Saʹlem itself, And his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he broke the flaming shafts of the bow, The shield and the sword and the battle. Seʹlah.
4 You are enveloped with light, more majestic than the mountains of prey.
5 The ones powerful in heart have been despoiled, They have drowsed away to their sleep, And none of all the valiant men have found their hands.
6 From your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the charioteer and the horse have fallen fast asleep.
7 You—fear-inspiring you are, And who can stand before you because of the strength of your anger?
8 From heaven you caused the legal contest to be heard; The earth itself feared and kept quiet
9 When God rose up to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. Seʹlah.
10 For the very rage of man*1 will laud you; The remainder of raging you will gird upon yourself.*2

11 Vow and pay to Jehovah YOUR God, all YOU who are round about him. Let them bring a gift in fear.
12 He will humble*1 the spirit of leaders; Fear-inspiring he is to the kings of the earth.
