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.

Psalmen 76
Het Boek

76 Een psalm van Asaf. Een lied voor de koordirigent. Te begeleiden met snaarinstrumenten.

2 Iedereen in Juda kent God.
Heel Israël eert en verheerlijkt Hem.
3 Zijn huis staat immers in Jeruzalem
en Hij woont op de berg Sion.
4 Daar heeft Hij de wapens van de vijand vernietigd.
5 De geweldige bergen kunnen zich niet met U meten
in pracht en heerlijkheid.
6 U versloeg de sterke vijanden.
Zij sliepen gewoon in.
Geen van al die dappere krijgers had nog kracht
om tegen U op te staan.
7 Toen U Zich liet zien, God van Jakob,
konden noch paarden noch strijdwagens
meer iets beginnen.
8 U bent groot en beroemd,
niemand kan in leven blijven
als uw toorn ontbrandt.
9 Vanuit de hemel hebt U geoordeeld
en de aarde werd helemaal stil van ontzag.
10 Toen stond God op als rechter
en bevrijdde al de oprechte mensen op aarde.
11 Werkelijk, zelfs uw tegenstanders moeten U eer brengen.
U houdt ze in toom.
12 Doe uw geloften aan de Here, uw God.
Kom ze ook na.
Iedereen moet Hem offers en gaven brengen,
want Hij is beroemd en gevreesd.
13 God verslaat alle tegenstanders,
allen vrezen Hem.
