Psalms 76

¹For the music director, with stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah. His name is great in Israel. ²His den has been in Salem, his lair in Zion. ³There he broke the flames of the bow, the shield and sword and battle. Selah ⁴Radiant you are, majestic, from the mountains of prey. ⁵The stouthearted are plundered; they sleep their sleep, and all the able men cannot ⌞use⌟ their hands. ⁶At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse slumber. ⁷⌞You, indeed, are to be feared⌟, and who can stand before you when you are angry? ⁸From heaven you proclaimed judgment. The earth feared and was still ⁹when God rose for justice, to save all the afflicted of the land. Selah ¹⁰For the anger of humankind will praise you. You will put on the remnant of anger. ¹¹Make vows and fulfill them to Yahweh, your God; let all surrounding him bring tribute to the one to be feared. ¹²He cuts off the spirit of leaders. He is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
