Psalms 76

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