For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.

76Verse 1God is famous in Judah; his reputation is great throughout Israel.
^{Verse 2}He lives in Jerusalem; his home is in Zion.
^{Verse 3}There he broke the flaming arrows, the shields, the swords, and the weapons of war. Selah.
^{Verse 4}You shine with light; you are more majestic than the everlasting⁺mountains.
^{Verse 5}Our most courageous enemies have been plundered. They sleep the sleep of death. Even the strongest of them could not raise a hand against us.
^{Verse 6}At your command, God of Jacob, both horse and rider fell down dead.
^{Verse 7}You are terrifying—who can stand before you when you are angry?
^{Verse 8}From heaven you announced judgment. Everyone on earth was afraid and stood still,
^{Verse 9}when you stood up to judge, to save the oppressed people of the earth. Selah.
^{Verse 10}Even human anger against you makes you look glorious, for you wear it alike a crown.^{+
Verse 11}Make your promises to God and be sure to keep them. Everyone bring gifts to the awe-inspiring one.
^{Verse 12}For he humbles proud leaders; he terrifies the kings of the earth.
