Psalm 76
International Standard Version
To the Director: With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.
The Awesome God
76 God is known in Judah;
in Israel his reputation is great.
2 His abode is in Salem,[a]
his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he shattered sharp arrows,
shields, swords, and weapons of[b] war.
4 You are enveloped by light;
more majestic than mountains filled with game.
5 Brave men were plundered
while they slumbered in their sleep.
All the men of the army were immobilized.
6 At the sound of your battle cry, God of Jacob,
both horse and chariot rider fell into deep sleep.
7 You are awesome!
who can stand in your presence when you’re angry?
8 From heaven you declared judgment.
The earth stands in awe and is quiet
9 when God arose to execute justice
and to deliver all the afflicted of the earth.
10 Even human anger praises you;
you will wear the survivors of your wrath as an ornament.[c]
11 Let everyone who surrounds the Lord your God
make a vow and fulfill it to the Awesome One.[d]
12 He will humble the arrogant[e] commanders-in-chief,[f]
instilling fear among the kings of the earth.

Psalm 76
World English Bible
For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song.
76 In Judah, God is known.
His name is great in Israel.
2 His tabernacle is also in Salem.
His dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow,
the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.
4 Glorious are you, and excellent,
more than mountains of game.
5 Valiant men lie plundered,
they have slept their last sleep.
None of the men of war can lift their hands.
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 You, even you, are to be feared.
Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
8 You pronounced judgment from heaven.
The earth feared, and was silent,
9 when God arose to judgment,
to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.
10 Surely the wrath of man praises you.
The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
11 Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them!
Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
12 He will cut off the spirit of princes.
He is feared by the kings of the earth.
Salmi 76
La Nuova Diodati
76 «Al maestro del coro. Per strumenti a corda. Salmo di Asaf. Cantico.» In Giuda DIO è ben conosciuto, il suo nome è grande in Israele.
2 Il suo tabernacolo è in Salem e la sua dimora in Sion.
3 Qui egli ha spezzato i dardi infuocati dell'arco, lo scudo e la spada di guerra.
4 Tu appari glorioso e potente sui monti di preda.
5 I valorosi sono stati spogliati, sono stati presi dal sonno, e nessuno di quegli uomini prodi ha potuto far uso delle sue mani.
6 Al tuo rimprovero, o DIO di Giacobbe, carri e cavalli rimasero storditi.
7 Tu, proprio tu, devi essere temuto; e chi può resistere davanti a te, quando ti adiri?
8 Tu hai fatto udire dal cielo la tua sentenza, la terra fu impaurita e tacque,
9 quando DIO si levò per giudicare, per liberare tutti i bisognosi della terra. (Sela)
10 Anche l'ira degli uomini ritornerà a tua lode, e ti cingerai con gli avanzi stessi della loro ira.
11 Fate voti all'Eterno, al DIO vostro, e adempiteli; tutti quelli che stanno attorno a lui portino doni al Tremendo.
12 Egli toglie il respiro ai governanti, egli è temuto dai re della terra.
