1 Psalm 76 God’s Name Is Great in Israel For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.God is known in Judah;His name is great in Israel.
2 So His 76:2Lit shelter tabernacle is in Salem;His dwelling place is in Zion.
3 There He broke the 76:3Lit fiery shafts of the bow flaming arrows,The shield and the sword and the battle. 76:3Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude Selah.
4 ¶You are shining,Majestic from the mountains of prey.
5 The stouthearted were plundered, 76:5Lit They slumbered their sleep They sank into sleep;And none of the 76:5Lit valiant men have found their hands warriors could use his hands.
6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,Both chariot rider and horse slumberedintoa deep sleep.
7 But You, You are 76:7 Or awesome fearsome;And who can stand in Your presence when once 76:7 Lit Your anger is You are angry?
8 ¶You madeYourcause 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 76:10Lit wraths wrath of man shall praise You;With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.
11 ¶Make vows to Yahweh your God and paythem;Let all who are around Him bring gifts to the Fearsome One.
12 He will cut off the spirit of princes;He is 76:12Lit awesome to feared by the kings of the earth.
