Psalms 76

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 For the leader; a psalm with stringed instruments. A song of Asaph.	1 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. In Judah God is known, his name is great in Israel.
2 Renowned in Judah is God, whose name is great in Israel.	2 His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.
3 On Salem is God's tent, a shelter on Zion.	3 There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. [Selah]
4 There the flashing arrows were shattered, shield, sword, and weapons of war. Selah	4 Glorious art thou, more majestic than the everlasting mountains.
5 Terrible and awesome are you, stronger than the ancient mountains.	5 The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use 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 rider and horse lay stunned.
7 At your roar, O God of Jacob, chariots and steeds lay still.	7 But thou, terrible art thou! Who can stand before thee when once thy anger is roused?
8 So terrible and awesome are you; who can stand before you and your great anger?	8 From the heavens thou didst utter judgment; 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 establish judgment to save all the oppressed 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 men shall praise thee; the residue of wrath thou wilt gird upon thee.
11 Even wrathful Edom praises you; the remnant of Hamath keeps your feast.	11 Make your vows to the LORD your God, and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared,
12 Make and keep vows to the LORD your God. May all present bring gifts to this awesome God,	12 who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is terrible to the kings of the earth.
13 Who checks the pride of princes, inspires awe among the kings of earth.
