Psalm 76
Revised Geneva Translation
76 God is known in Judah. His Name is great in Israel.
2 For in Salem is His Tabernacle; and His dwelling is in Zion.
3 There He broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 You are brighter and more excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stout-hearted are spoiled. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of strength have not found their hands.
6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast dead asleep.
7 You. You are to be feared. And who shall stand in Your sight when You are angry!
8 You caused judgment to be heard from Heaven. The Earth feared, and was still,
9 when You, O God, rose to judgment to help all the meek of the Earth. Selah.
10 Surely, the rage of man shall turn to Your praise; the remnant of the rage You shall restrain.
11 Vow and perform to the LORD your God, all you who surround Him; let them bring presents to Him Who ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes; he is feared by the kings of the Earth. For the excellent musician, Jeduthun: A Psalm committed to Asaph
Psalm 76
English Standard Version
Who Can Stand Before You?
To the choirmaster: with (A)stringed instruments. A Psalm of (B)Asaph. A Song.
76 In Judah God is (C)known;
his name is great in Israel.
2 His (D)abode has been established in (E)Salem,
his (F)dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he (G)broke the flashing arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah
4 Glorious are you, more majestic
(H)than the mountains full of (I)prey.
5 (J)The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
(K)they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
were unable to use their hands.
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both (L)rider and horse lay stunned.
7 (M)But you, you are to be feared!
Who can (N)stand before you
when once your anger is roused?
8 From the heavens you uttered judgment;
(O)the earth feared and was still,
9 when God (P)arose to establish judgment,
to save all the humble of the earth. Selah
10 Surely (Q)the wrath of man shall praise you;
the remnant[a] of wrath you will put on like a belt.
11 (R)Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;
let all around him (S)bring gifts
to him who (T)is to be feared,
12 who (U)cuts off the spirit of princes,
who (V)is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
