Psalm 76
Legacy Standard Bible

God’s Name Is Great in Israel

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

76 God is (A)known in Judah;
His name is (B)great in Israel.
2 So His [a](C)tabernacle is in (D)Salem;
His (E)dwelling place is in Zion.
3 There He (F)broke the [b]flaming arrows,
The shield and the sword and the battle. [c]Selah.

4 You are shining,
Majestic from the mountains of prey.
5 The (G)stouthearted were plundered,
[d]They sank into sleep;
And none of the [e]warriors could use his hands.
6 At Your (H)rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both (I)chariot rider and horse slumbered into a deep sleep.
7 But You, You are [f](J)fearsome;
And (K)who can stand in Your presence when once [g]You are angry?

8 You made Your cause to be heard from heaven;
The earth (L)feared and was quiet
9 When God (M)arose to judgment,
To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.
10 For the [h](N)wrath of man shall praise You;
With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.

11 (O)Make vows to Yahweh your God and (P)pay them;
Let all who are around Him (Q)bring gifts to the Fearsome One.
12 He will cut off the spirit of princes;
He is [i](R)feared by the kings of the earth.

PSALM 76

Siegeslied zum Lobpreis Gottes

76 Dem Vorsänger. Mit Saitenspiel. Ein Psalmlied, von Asaph.

2 Gott ist in Juda bekannt,
in Israel ist sein Name groß;
3 in Salem[a] ist sein Gezelt
und seine Wohnung in Zion.
4 Daselbst hat er die Blitze des Bogens[b] zerbrochen,
Schild, Schwert und Kriegsgerät. - (Pause.)
5 Glanzvoll bist du, Mächtiger,
wegen der Berge[c] von Beute [die du gemacht]!
6 Die Tapfern mußten sich ausplündern lassen;
sie sanken in Schlaf,
und den Kriegsleuten versagten die Hände.
7 Von deinem Schelten, o Gott Jakobs,
wurden Roß und Reiter betäubt!
8 Du bist zu fürchten,
und wer kann vor deinem Angesicht bestehen, wenn dein Zorn entbrennt?
9 Als du das Urteil vom Himmel erschallen ließest,
da erschrak die Erde und hielt sich still,
10 als sich Gott zum Gericht erhob,
zu retten alle Elenden im Lande. - (Pause.)
11 Denn der Zorn des Menschen wird dir zum Lobpreis,
daß du dich zuletzt mit Zornesflammen gürtest.
12 Tut Gelübde und bezahlt sie dem Herrn, eurem Gott;
von allen Seiten soll man dem Furchtbaren Geschenke bringen!
13 Er beschneidet den Mut der Fürsten
und ist furchtbar den Königen auf Erden.

Psalm 76
New International Version

Psalm 76[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.

1 God is renowned in Judah;
    in Israel his name is great.(A)
2 His tent is in Salem,(B)
    his dwelling place in Zion.(C)
3 There he broke the flashing arrows,(D)
    the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.[b](E)

4 You are radiant with light,(F)
    more majestic than mountains rich with game.
5 The valiant(G) lie plundered,
    they sleep their last sleep;(H)
not one of the warriors
    can lift his hands.
6 At your rebuke,(I) God of Jacob,
    both horse and chariot(J) lie still.

7 It is you alone who are to be feared.(K)
    Who can stand(L) before you when you are angry?(M)
8 From heaven you pronounced judgment,
    and the land feared(N) and was quiet—
9 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.

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.
2 In [b]Salem also is His tabernacle,
And His dwelling place in Zion.
3 There He broke the arrows of the bow,
The shield and sword of battle. Selah

4 You 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.

7 You, 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,
9 When 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.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes;
(M)He is awesome to the kings of the earth.
