Psalms 76
Royal Kingdom
Israel’s God—Judge of All the Earth
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments.
A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1In Judah God is known, his name is great in Israel.
2His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.
3There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.Selah
4Glorious are you, more majestic than the everlasting mountains.
5The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands.
6At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned.
7But you, you are awesome! Who can stand before you when once your anger is roused?
8From the heavens you pronounced judgment; the earth feared and was still,
9when God arose to establish judgment to save all the oppressed of the earth.Selah
10Surely the wrath of men shall praise you; the residue of wrath you will bind around you.
11Make your vows to the Lord your God, and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared,
12who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is awesome to the kings of the earth.
