Chapter 76

¹{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.} In Judah is God known, his name is great in Israel; ²And in Salem is his tent, and his dwelling-place in Zion. ³There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. Selah. ⁴More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey. ⁵The stout-hearted are made a spoil, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands. ⁶At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. ⁷Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry? ⁸Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from the heavens; the earth feared, and was still, ⁹When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. ¹⁰For the fury of man shall praise thee; the remainder of fury wilt thou gird on thyself. ¹¹Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that is to be feared. ¹²He cutteth off the spirit of princes; [he] is terrible to the kings of the earth.
