Psalms 76

God’s Name Is Great in Israel

1For the leader. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.

2In Judah God is known; in Israel his name is great.
3And his booth was in Salem, and his dwelling place in Zion.
4There he broke the flashing arrows of the bow, the shield and the sword and the battle. Selah.
5Resplendent are you, majestic, from the mountains of prey.
6The stout of heart were plundered, they slept their sleep; and all the men^a of valor did not find their hands.
7At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep.
8You, you are to be feared; and who can stand before you from the time of your anger?
9From heaven you caused judgment^b to be heard; the earth feared and was still,
10When God arose to the judgment^c, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah.
11Surely the wrath of man^d shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you gird on yourself.
12Vow and fulfill to the LORD your God; all who are around him, let them bring a gift to the one to be feared.
13He cuts off the spirit^e of princes; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
