God, the Powerful Judge

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph.(A) A song.

76 God is known in Judah;
his name is great in Israel.(B)
His tent is in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.(C)
There he shatters the bow’s flaming arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.(D) Selah

You are resplendent and majestic
coming down from the mountains of prey.(E)
The brave-hearted have been plundered;
they have slipped into their final sleep.
None of the warriors was able to lift a hand.(F)
At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse lay still.(G)

And you – you are to be feared.[a]
When you are angry,
who can stand before you?(H)
From heaven you pronounced judgement.
The earth feared and grew quiet(I)
when God rose up to judge
and to save all the lowly of the earth.(J) Selah
10 Even human wrath will praise you;
you will clothe yourself
with the wrath that remains.[b](K)

11 Make and keep your vows
to the Lord your God;(L)
let all who are around him bring tribute
to the awe-inspiring one.[c](M)
12 He humbles the spirit of leaders;
he is feared by the kings of the earth.(N)

El Dios de la victoria y del juicio

Al músico principal; sobre Neginot. Salmo de Asaf. Cántico.

76 Dios es conocido en Judá;

En Israel es grande su nombre.

En Salem está su tabernáculo,

Y su habitación en Sion.

Allí quebró las saetas del arco,

El escudo, la espada y las armas de guerra. Selah

Glorioso eres tú, poderoso más que los montes de caza.

Los fuertes de corazón fueron despojados, durmieron su sueño;

No hizo uso de sus manos ninguno de los varones fuertes.

A tu reprensión, oh Dios de Jacob,

El carro y el caballo fueron entorpecidos.

Tú, temible eres tú;

¿Y quién podrá estar en pie delante de ti cuando se encienda tu ira?

Desde los cielos hiciste oír juicio;

La tierra tuvo temor y quedó suspensa

Cuando te levantaste, oh Dios, para juzgar,

Para salvar a todos los mansos de la tierra. Selah

10 Ciertamente la ira del hombre te alabará;

Tú reprimirás el resto de las iras.

11 Prometed, y pagad a Jehová vuestro Dios;

Todos los que están alrededor de él, traigan ofrendas al Temible.

12 Cortará él el espíritu de los príncipes;

Temible es a los reyes de la tierra.

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

You are more glorious and excellent
(B)Than the mountains of prey.
(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.
(E)At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep.

You, Yourself, are to be feared;
And (F)who may stand in Your presence
When once You are angry?
(G)You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
(H)The earth feared and was still,
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.
