Psalms 76

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 [For the choirmaster For strings Psalm Of Asaph Song] God is acknowledged in Judah, his name isgreat in Israel,	1 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
2 his tent is pitched in Salem, his dwel ing is in Zion;	2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 there he has broken the lightning-flashes of the bow, shield and sword and war.Pause	3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 Radiant you are, and renowned for the mountains of booty	4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 taken from them. Heroes are now sleeping their last sleep, the warriors' arms have failed them;	5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 at your reproof, God of Jacob, chariot and horse stand stunned.	6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 You, you alone, strike terror! Who can hold his ground in your presence when your anger strikes?	7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8 From heaven your verdicts thunder, the earth is silent with dread	8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 when God takes his stand to give judgement, to save all the humble of the earth.Pause	9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
10 Human anger serves only to praise you, the survivors of your anger will huddle round you.	10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
11 Make and fulfil your vows to Yahweh your God, let those who surround him make offerings to theAwesome One.	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 He cuts short the breath of princes, strikes terror in earthly kings.	12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
