Psalm 76
Modern English Version
Psalm 76
For the Music Director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1 In Judah God is known;
in Israel His name is great.
2 In Salem is His abode,
and His dwelling place in Zion.
3 There He broke the fiery arrows of the bow,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah
4 You are more glorious and excellent
than the mountains of prey.
5 The strong of heart have been plundered;
they have been put to sleep;
and none of the mighty men
could use their hands.
6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both the chariot and horse lay stunned.
7 You, even You, are to be feared;
and who may stand in Your sight from the moment of Your anger?
8 From the heavens You gave their judgment,
and the earth feared and was silent,
9 when God arose to judgment,
to save all the meek of the earth. Selah
10 Surely the wrath of people shall bring You praise;
the remainder of wrath You shall put on.
11 Make your vows to the Lord your God, and fulfill them;
let all who surround Him
bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.
12 He reduces the spirit of princes,
and is feared among the kings of the earth.
Psalm 76
21st Century King James Version
76 In Judah is God known; His name is great in Israel.
2 In Salem also is His tabernacle, and His dwelling place in Zion.
3 There broke He the arrows of the bow, the shield and the sword and the battle. Selah
4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stouthearted are despoiled; they have slept their sleep, and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 At Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 Thou, Thou alone, art to be feared; and who may stand in Thy sight when once Thou art angry?
8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared and was still,
9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah
10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee; the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain.
11 Make vows, and pay them unto the Lord your God; let all that be round about Him bring presents unto Him that ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes; He is fearsome to the kings of the earth.
