Psalm 76

Israel’s God—Judge of All the Earth

To the leader: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

In Judah God is known,
    his name is great in Israel.
His abode has been established in Salem,
    his dwelling place in Zion.
There he broke the flashing arrows,
    the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.Selah

Glorious are you, more majestic
    than the everlasting mountains.[a]
The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
    they sank into sleep;
none of the troops
    was able to lift a hand.
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
    both rider and horse lay stunned.

But you indeed are awesome!
    Who can stand before you
    when once your anger is roused?
From the heavens you uttered judgment;
    the earth feared and was still
when God rose up to establish judgment,
    to save all the oppressed of the earth.Selah

10 Human wrath serves only to praise you,
    when you bind the last bit of your[b] wrath around you.
11 Make vows to the Lord your God, and perform them;
    let all who are around him bring gifts
    to the one who is awesome,
12 who cuts off the spirit of princes,
    who inspires fear in the kings of the earth.

Salmo 76

El poder victorioso del Dios de Jacob

Para el director del coro; con instrumentos de cuerdas. Salmo de Asaf. Cántico.

76 Dios es conocido en Judá(A);
Grande es Su nombre en Israel(B).
En Salem(C) está Su tabernáculo(D),
Y en Sión Su morada(E).
Allí quebró las flechas encendidas del arco(F),
El escudo, la espada y las armas de guerra. (Selah)
¶Resplandeciente eres,
Más majestuoso que los montes de caza.
Fueron despojados los fuertes de corazón(G);
Durmieron su sueño,
Y ninguno de los guerreros pudo usar sus manos.
A Tu reprensión(H), oh Dios de Jacob,
Jinete y caballo(I) cayeron en profundo sueño.
Tú, solo Tú, has de ser temido(J);
¿Y quién podrá estar en pie en Tu presencia en el momento de Tu ira(K)?
¶Hiciste oír juicio desde los cielos(L);
Temió la tierra(M) y enmudeció
Cuando Dios se levantó para juzgar(N),
Para salvar a todos los humildes de la tierra. (Selah)
10 Pues el furor del hombre te alabará(O);
Con un residuo de furor te ceñirás.
11 ¶Hagan votos ustedes al Señor su Dios, y cúmplanlos(P);
Todos los que están alrededor de Él traigan presentes(Q) al que debe ser temido.
12 Él cortará el espíritu de los príncipes;
Temido es por los reyes de la tierra(R).

76 (0) For the leader. With string music. A psalm of Asaf. A song:

(1) In Y’hudah God is known;
his name is great in Isra’el.
(2) His tent is in Shalem,
his place is in Tziyon.
(3) There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah)

(4) You are glorious, majestic,
more so than mountains of prey.
(5) The bravest have been stripped of their spoil
and now are sleeping their final sleep;
not one of these courageous men
finds strength to raise his hands.
(6) At your rebuke, God of Ya‘akov,
riders and horses lie stunned.

(7) You are fearsome! When once you are angry,
who can stand in your presence?
(8) You pronounce sentence from heaven;
the earth grows silent with fear
10 (9) when God arises to judge,
to save all the humble of the earth. (Selah)

11 (10) Human wrath serves only to praise you;
what remains of this wrath you wear as an ornament.
12 (11) Make vows to Adonai your God, and keep them;
all who are around him must bring presents to the one who should be feared.
13 (12) He curbs the spirit of princes;
he is fearsome to the kings of the earth.
