Psalm 76

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

1God is known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.

2His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.

3There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.

4You are radiant, more majestic than the mountains full of prey.

5The stouthearted have been plundered; they have sunk into their final sleep; none of the warriors could lift their hands.

6At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse lay stunned.

7You—you are the one to be feared! Who can stand before you once your anger is roused?

8From heaven you made your judgment heard; the earth feared and was still,

9when God rose up to judge, to save all the afflicted of the earth. Selah.

10Surely human wrath will bring you praise; with what remains of wrath you clothe yourself.

11Make vows to Yahweh your God and fulfill them; let all around him bring gifts to the one who is to be feared.

12He cuts off the spirit of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
