Psalm 76
Legacy Standard Bible
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.
2 So His [a](C)tabernacle is in (D)Salem;
His (E)dwelling place is in Zion.
3 There He (F)broke the [b]flaming arrows,
The shield and the sword and the battle. [c]Selah.
4 You are shining,
Majestic from the mountains of prey.
5 The (G)stouthearted were plundered,
[d]They sank into sleep;
And none of the [e]warriors could use his hands.
6 At Your (H)rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both (I)chariot rider and horse slumbered into a deep sleep.
7 But You, You are [f](J)fearsome;
And (K)who can stand in Your presence when once [g]You are angry?
8 You made Your cause to be heard from heaven;
The earth (L)feared and was quiet
9 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
God, the Powerful Judge
For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph.(A) A song.
1 God is known in Judah;
his name is great in Israel.(B)
2 His tent is in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.(C)
3 There he shatters the bow’s flaming arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.(D)Selah
4 You are resplendent and majestic
coming down from the mountains of prey.(E)
5 The brave-hearted have been plundered;
they have slipped into their final sleep.
None of the warriors was able to lift a hand.(F)
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse lay still.(G)
7 And you—you are to be feared.[a]
When you are angry,
who can stand before you?(H)
8 From heaven you pronounced judgment.
The earth feared and grew quiet(I)
9 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)
