 神的威榮無人能敵

歌一首,亞薩的詩,交給詩班長,用絲弦的樂器伴奏。

76 在猶大, 神是人人所認識的,

在以色列,他的名被尊為大。

他的帳棚是在撒冷,

他的居所是在錫安。

在那裡他折斷了弓上的火箭,

拆毀了盾牌、刀劍和爭戰的兵器。(細拉)

你滿有光華和榮美,

勝過獵物豐富的群山。

心裡勇敢的人都被搶掠,

他們長睡不起;

所有大能的勇士都無力舉手。

雅各的 神啊!因你的斥責,坐車的和騎馬的都沉睡了。

唯有你是可畏的,

你的烈怒一發出,誰能在你面前站立得住呢?

8-9  神啊!你起來施行審判,

要拯救地上所有困苦的人。

那時,你從天上宣告審判,

地上的人就懼怕,並且靜默無聲。(細拉)

10 人的忿怒必使你得稱讚,

人的餘怒必成為你的裝飾。

11 你們許願,總要向耶和華你們的 神償還;

所有在他周圍的人,都要把貢物帶來獻給那可敬畏的 神。

12 他必挫折眾領袖的傲氣,

他必使地上的君王畏懼他。

Praise to God for His Rescue of Israel

For the music director, with stringed instruments.

A psalm of Asaph. A song.[a]

76 God is known in Judah.
His name is great in Israel.
His den[b] has been in Salem,
his lair[c] in Zion.
There he broke the flames of the bow,
the shield and sword and battle. Selah
Radiant[d] you are, majestic,
from[e] the mountains of prey.
The stouthearted are plundered;
they sleep their sleep,
and all the able men cannot use[f] their hands.
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both rider[g] and horse slumber.
You, indeed, are to be feared,[h]
and who can stand before you
when you are angry? [i]
From heaven you proclaimed judgment.
The earth feared and was still
when God rose for justice,
to save all the afflicted of the land. Selah
10 For the anger of humankind will praise you.
You will put on the remnant of anger.[j]
11 Make vows and fulfill them to Yahweh, your God;
let all surrounding him
bring tribute to the one to be feared.[k]
12 He cuts off the spirit of leaders.
He is to be feared by the kings of the earth.

Psalm 76[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.

God is renowned in Judah;
    in Israel his name is great.(A)
His tent is in Salem,(B)
    his dwelling place in Zion.(C)
There he broke the flashing arrows,(D)
    the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.[b](E)

You are radiant with light,(F)
    more majestic than mountains rich with game.
The valiant(G) lie plundered,
    they sleep their last sleep;(H)
not one of the warriors
    can lift his hands.
At your rebuke,(I) God of Jacob,
    both horse and chariot(J) lie still.

It is you alone who are to be feared.(K)
    Who can stand(L) before you when you are angry?(M)
From heaven you pronounced judgment,
    and the land feared(N) and was quiet—
when you, God, rose up to judge,(O)
    to save all the afflicted(P) of the land.
10 Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise,(Q)
    and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.[c]

11 Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them;(R)
    let all the neighboring lands
    bring gifts(S) to the One to be feared.
12 He breaks the spirit of rulers;
    he is feared by the kings of the earth.
