Psalms 76


font
NEW AMERICAN BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 For the leader; a psalm with stringed instruments. A song of Asaph.1 Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians.
2 Renowned in Judah is God, whose name is great in Israel.2 In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.
3 On Salem is God's tent, a shelter on Zion.3 And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
4 There the flashing arrows were shattered, shield, sword, and weapons of war. Selah4 There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.
5 Terrible and awesome are you, stronger than the ancient mountains.5 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
6 Despoiled are the bold warriors; they sleep their final sleep; the hands of all the mighty have failed.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.
7 At your roar, O God of Jacob, chariots and steeds lay still.7 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
8 So terrible and awesome are you; who can stand before you and your great anger?8 Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
9 From the heavens you pronounced sentence; the earth was terrified and reduced to silence,9 Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
10 When you arose, O God, for judgment to deliver the afflicted of the land. Selah10 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
11 Even wrathful Edom praises you; the remnant of Hamath keeps your feast.11 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
12 Make and keep vows to the LORD your God. May all present bring gifts to this awesome God,12 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
13 Who checks the pride of princes, inspires awe among the kings of earth.13 even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
