Psalms 76

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.	1 For the leader; a psalm with stringed instruments. A song of Asaph.
2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.	2 Renowned in Judah is God, whose name is great in Israel.
3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.	3 On Salem is God's tent, a shelter on Zion.
4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.	4 There the flashing arrows were shattered, shield, sword, and weapons of war. Selah
5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.	5 Terrible and awesome are you, stronger than the ancient mountains.
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.	6 Despoiled are the bold warriors; they sleep their final sleep; the hands of all the mighty have failed.
7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?	7 At your roar, O God of Jacob, chariots and steeds lay still.
8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,	8 So terrible and awesome are you; who can stand before you and your great anger?
9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.	9 From the heavens you pronounced sentence; the earth was terrified and reduced to silence,
10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.	10 When you arose, O God, for judgment to deliver the afflicted of the land. Selah
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.	11 Even wrathful Edom praises you; the remnant of Hamath keeps your feast.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.	12 Make and keep vows to the LORD your God. May all present bring gifts to this awesome God,
	13 Who checks the pride of princes, inspires awe among the kings of earth.
