Psalms 76 — ULB

For the chief musician, on stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph, a song.

76Verse 1God has made himself known in Judah;
his name is great in Israel.
^{Verse 2}His tent is in Salem;
his dwelling place is in Zion.
^{Verse 3}There he broke the arrows of the bow,
the shield, the sword, and the other weapons of war. Selah
^{Verse 4}You shine brightly and reveal your glory,
as you descend from the mountains, where you killed your victims.
^{Verse 5}The bravehearted were plundered;
they fell asleep.
All the warriors were helpless.
^{Verse 6}At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both rider and horse fell asleep.
^{Verse 7}You, yes you, are to be feared;
who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
^{Verse 8}From heaven you made your judgment heard;
the earth was afraid and silent
^{Verse 9}when you, God, arose to execute judgment
and to save all the oppressed of the earth. Selah
^{Verse 10}Surely your angry judgment against humanity will bring you praise;
you gird yourself with what is left of your anger.
^{Verse 11}Make vows to Yahweh your God and keep them.
May all who surround him bring gifts to him who is to be feared.
^{Verse 12}He cuts off the spirit of the princes;
he is feared by the kings of the earth.
