Psalm 76

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.

1 God is renowned in Judah;

in Israel his name is great.

2 His tent is in Salem,

his dwelling place in Zion.

3 There he broke the flashing arrows,

# the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.

4 You are radiant with light,

more majestic than mountains rich with game.

5 The valiant lie plundered,

they sleep their last sleep;

not one of the warriors

can lift his hands.

6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob,

both horse and chariot lie still.

7 It is you alone who are to be feared.

Who can stand before you when you are angry?

8 From heaven you pronounced judgment,

and the land feared and was quiet—

9 when you, God, rose up to judge,

to save all the afflicted of the land.

10 Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise,

# and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.

11 Make vows to theLordyour God and fulfill them;

let all the neighboring lands

bring gifts to the One to be feared.

12 He breaks the spirit of rulers;

he is feared by the kings of the earth.
