Psalms 76

¹God is renowned in Judah; in Israel his name is great.

²His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.

³There he broke the flashing arrows, the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.

⁴You are radiant with light, more majestic than mountains rich with game.

⁵The valiant lie plundered, they sleep their last sleep; not one of the warriors can lift his hands.

⁶At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both horse and chariot lie still.

⁷It is you alone who are to be feared. Who can stand before you when you are angry?

⁸From heaven you pronounced judgment, and the land feared and was quiet—

⁹when you, God, rose up to judge, to save all the afflicted of the land.

¹⁰Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise, and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.

¹¹Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them; let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared.

¹²He breaks the spirit of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
