Psalms - Chapter 76 | English Standard Version

  • 1. To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel.
  • 2. His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.
  • 3. There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.
  • 4. Glorious are you, more majestic than the mountains of prey.
  • 5. The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands.
  • 6. At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned.
  • 7. But you, you are to be feared! Who can stand before you when once your anger is roused?
  • 8. From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still,
  • 9. when God arose to establish judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah.
  • 10. Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt.
  • 11. Make your vows to the LORD your God and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared,
  • 12. who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
