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.

雅各之神显威荣以制敌

76 亚萨的诗歌,交于伶长。用丝弦的乐器。

犹大,神为人所认识;在以色列,他的名为大。
撒冷有他的帐幕,在锡安有他的居所。
他在那里折断弓上的火箭并盾牌、刀剑和争战的兵器。(细拉)
你从有野食之山而来,有光华和荣美。
心中勇敢的人都被抢夺,他们睡了长觉,没有一个英雄能措手。
雅各的神啊,你的斥责一发,坐车的、骑马的都沉睡了。
唯独你是可畏的,你怒气一发,谁能在你面前站得住呢?
你从天上使人听判断——
神起来施行审判,要救地上一切谦卑的人——那时地就惧怕而静默。(细拉)
10 人的愤怒要成全你的荣美,人的余怒你要禁止。
11 你们许愿,当向耶和华你们的神还愿;在他四面的人,都当拿贡物献给那可畏的主。
12 他要挫折王子的骄气,他向地上的君王显威可畏。
