Psalm 76

Tree of Life Version

¹ For the music director, on stringed instruments: a psalm of Asaph, a song.
² In Judah God is known.
In Israel His Name is great.
³ In Salem is His sukkah
and His dwelling place in Zion.
⁴ There He broke the fiery shafts of the bow,
the shield, the sword, and the battle. Selah
⁵ You are brilliant,
more majestic than nourishing mountains.
⁶ The valiant have been plundered—
they slumbered in their sleep.
The mighty could not lift their hands.
⁷ At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both horse and rider lay dead asleep.
⁸ You are awesome, yes You are!
Who can stand in Your presence once You are angry?
⁹ From heaven You pronounced judgment.
The earth feared and was still—
¹⁰ when God rose up to judgment,
to save all the humble of the land. Selah
¹¹ For wrath upon man will bring You praise,
a remnant of wrath You put on as a belt.
¹² Make vows to Adonai your God and fulfill them.
Let all around Him bring tribute to the One who is to be feared.
¹³ He cuts off the breath of princes.
The kings of earth are in awe of Him.
