76:1
[For the choirmaster For strings Psalm Of Asaph Song] God is acknowledged in Judah, his name is great in Israel,
76:2
his tent is pitched in Salem, his dwelling is in Zion;
76:3
there he has broken the lightning-flashes of the bow, shield and sword and war. Pause
76:4
Radiant you are, and renowned for the mountains of booty
76:5
taken from them. Heroes are now sleeping their last sleep, the warriors' arms have failed them;
76:6
at your reproof, God of Jacob, chariot and horse stand stunned.
76:7
You, you alone, strike terror! Who can hold his ground in your presence when your anger strikes?
76:8
From heaven your verdicts thunder, the earth is silent with dread
76:9
when God takes his stand to give judgement, to save all the humble of the earth. Pause
76:10
Human anger serves only to praise you, the survivors of your anger will huddle round you.
76:11
Make and fulfil your vows to Yahweh your God, let those who surround him make offerings to the Awesome One.
76:12
He cuts short the breath of princes, strikes terror in earthly kings.
