Psalms - Chapter 76 | Good News Translation

  • 1. God is known in Judah; his name is honored in Israel.
  • 2. He has his home in Jerusalem; he lives on Mount Zion.
  • 3. There he broke the arrows of the enemy, their shields and swords, yes, all their weapons.
  • 4. How glorious you are, O God! How majestic, as you return from the mountains where you defeated your foes.
  • 5. Their brave soldiers have been stripped of all they had and now are sleeping the sleep of death; all their strength and skill was useless.
  • 6. When you threatened them, O God of Jacob, the horses and their riders fell dead.
  • 7. But you, LORD, are feared by all. No one can stand in your presence when you are angry.
  • 8. You made your judgment known from heaven; the world was afraid and kept silent,
  • 9. when you rose up to pronounce judgment, to save all the oppressed on earth.
  • 10. Human anger only results in more praise for you; those who survive the wars will keep your festivals.
  • 11. Give the LORD your God what you promised him; bring gifts to him, all you nearby nations. God makes everyone fear him;
  • 12. he humbles proud princes and terrifies great kings.
