Psalms 76

DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians.	1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
2 In Judea God is 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.
3 And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:	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.
4 There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.	4 I was mindful of God, and I was delighted, and I was distressed, and my spirit fell away.
5 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.	5 My eyes anticipated the vigils. I was disturbed, and I did not speak.
6 All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.	6 I considered the days of antiquity, and I held the years of eternity in my mind.
7 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.	7 And I meditated in the night with my heart, and I was distressed, and I examined my spirit.
8 Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.	8 So then, will God reject for eternity? Will he not continue to allow himself to show favor?
9 Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,	9 Or, will he cut off his mercy in the end, from generation to generation?
10 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.	10 And would God ever forget to be merciful? Or, would he, in his wrath, restrict his mercies?
11 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.	11 And I said, “Now I have begun. This change is from the right hand of the Most High.”
12 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,	12 I was mindful of the works of the Lord. For I will be mindful from the beginning of your wonders,
13 even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with 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.
