Psalms 76

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.	1 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
2 I cried out to the Lord with my voice, to God with my voice, and he attended to me.	2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 In the days of my tribulation, I sought God, with my hands opposite him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be consoled.	3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 I was mindful of God, and I was delighted, and I was distressed, and my spirit fell away.	4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 My eyes anticipated the vigils. I was disturbed, and I did not speak.	5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 I considered the days of antiquity, and I held the years of eternity in my mind.	6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 And I meditated in the night with my heart, and I was distressed, and I examined my spirit.	7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8 So then, will God reject for eternity? Will he not continue to allow himself to show favor?	8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 Or, will he cut off his mercy in the end, from generation to generation?	9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
10 And would God ever forget to be merciful? Or, would he, in his wrath, restrict his mercies?	10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
11 And I said, “Now I have begun. This change is from the right hand of the Most High.”	11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12 I was mindful of the works of the Lord. For I will be mindful from the beginning of your wonders,	12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
13 and I will meditate on all your works. And I will take part in your intentions.
14 Your way, O God, is in what is holy. Which God is great like our God?
15 You are the God who performs miracles. You have made your virtue known among the peoples.
16 With your arm, you have redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and of Joseph.
17 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and they were afraid, and the depths were stirred up.
18 Great was the sound of the waters. The clouds uttered a voice. For your arrows also pass by.
19 The voice of your thunder is like a wheel. Your flashes have illuminated the whole world. The earth has quaked and trembled.
20 Your way is through the sea, and your paths are through many waters. And your traces will not be known.
21 You have conducted your people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
