Psalms 76
1 For the director of music, with stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.
2 God is known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.
3 His tent is in Salem, and his dwelling place in Zion.
4 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.
5 You are radiant, more majestic than the mountains of prey.
6 The brave-hearted were plundered; they sank into their sleep, and none of the warriors could lift a hand.
7 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, chariot and horse fell into deep sleep.
8 You—yes, you—are to be feared. Who can stand before you when your anger flares up?
9 From heaven you made your judgment heard; the earth feared and fell silent.
10 When God rose to judge, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah.
11 Human fury will praise you; with the rest of their fury you gird yourself.
12 Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfill them; let all who surround him bring gifts to the One who is to be feared.
13 He cuts off the spirit of princes; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
