For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for
Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. 76:1 God is known in Judea: his name is
great in Israel.
76:2 And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.
76:3 There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and
the battle. Pause.
76:4 Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.
76:5 All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have
slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.
76:6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.
76:7 Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine
anger?
76:8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared,
and was still,
76:9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. Pause.
76:10 For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to thee: and the
memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to thee.
76:11 Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about
him shall bring gifts,
76:12 [even] to him that is terrible, and that takes away the spirits of
princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth. |
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm
[or] Song of Asaph. 76:1 In Judah is God known: his name is great in
Israel.
76:2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
76:3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and
the battle. Selah.
76:4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
76:5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of
the men of might have found their hands.
76:6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into
a dead sleep.
76:7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when
once thou art angry?
76:8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared,
and was still,
76:9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
76:10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath
shalt thou restrain.
76:11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him
bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
76:12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of
the earth. |
