Psalm 76

God’s Name Is Great in Israel

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1 God is known in Judah;
His name is great in Israel.
2 So His ^{▼▼Lit shelter}tabernacle is in Salem;
His dwelling place is in Zion.
3 There He broke the ^{▼▼Lit fiery shafts of the bow}flaming arrows,
The shield and the sword and the battle. ^{▼▼Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude}Selah.
4 You are shining,
Majestic from the mountains of prey.
5 The stouthearted were plundered,
^{▼▼ Lit They slumbered their sleep}They sank into sleep;
And none of the ^{▼▼Lit valiant men have found their hands}warriors could use his hands.
6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both chariot rider and horse slumbered into a deep sleep.
7 But You, You are ^{▼▼Or awesome}fearsome;
And who can stand in Your presence when once ^{▼▼Lit Your anger is}You are angry?
8 You made Your cause to be heard from heaven;
The earth feared and was quiet
9 When God arose to judgment,
To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.
10 For the ^{▼▼Lit wraths}wrath of man shall praise You;
With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.
11 Make vows to Yahweh your God and pay them;
Let all who are around Him bring gifts to the Fearsome One.
12 He will cut off the spirit of princes;
He is ^{▼▼Lit awesome to}feared by the kings of the earth.
