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.
So His [a](C)tabernacle is in (D)Salem;
His (E)dwelling place is in Zion.
There He (F)broke the [b]flaming arrows,
The shield and the sword and the battle. [c]Selah.

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

You made Your cause to be heard from heaven;
The earth (L)feared and was quiet
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

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.

Al director musical. Acompáñese con instrumentos de cuerda. Salmo de Asaf. Cántico.

76 Dios es conocido en Judá, grande es su nombre en Israel. En Salén se halla su santuario, en Sion está su morada. Allí destroza él las flechas, los escudos, las espadas y todas las armas de los enemigos.

¡Los montes eternos no pueden comparar su gloria con la tuya! Vencidos están los más poderosos de nuestros enemigos. Están recostados ante nosotros en el sueño de la muerte; ni uno de ellos puede alzar su mano contra nosotros. Cuando tú, Dios de Jacob, los reprendiste, caballos y jinetes quedaron inmóviles. ¿Quién puede estar ante ti cuando se enciende tu enojo? Desde el cielo pronuncias sobre ellos la sentencia; tiembla la tierra y silenciosa está ante ti. Te levantas para castigar a los malhechores, oh Dios, y para rescatar a los pobres de la tierra. 10 La enemistad de los hombres sólo hace que tu gloria se note más; porque tú la usas como espada de juicio.

11 Hagan votos al Señor su Dios y cúmplanlos. Traiga cada uno su presente al Dios maravilloso, 12 porque él quebranta el espíritu de los príncipes y es temido por los reyes de la tierra.
