Psalm 76 New King James Version

The Majesty of God in Judgment

To the Chief Musician. On ^[a]stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

76 In ^(A)Judah God is known;
His name is great in Israel.
²In ^[b]Salem also is His tabernacle,
And His dwelling place in Zion.
³There He broke the arrows of the bow,
The shield and sword of battle. Selah

⁴You are more glorious and excellent
^(B)Than the mountains of prey.
⁵^(C)The stouthearted were plundered;
^(D)They ^[c]have sunk into their sleep;
And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands.
⁶^(E)At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep.

⁷You, Yourself, are to be feared;
And ^(F)who may stand in Your presence
When once You are angry?
⁸^(G)You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
^(H)The earth feared and was still,
⁹When God ^(I)arose to judgment,
To deliver all the oppressed of the earth. Selah

¹⁰^(J)Surely the wrath of man shall praise You;
With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself.

¹¹^(K)Make vows to the Lord your God, and pay them;
^(L)Let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared.
¹²He shall cut off the spirit of princes;
^(M)He is awesome to the kings of the earth.
