Psalm 76
New International Version
Psalm 76[a]
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.
1 God is renowned in Judah;
in Israel his name is great.(A)
2 His tent is in Salem,(B)
his dwelling place in Zion.(C)
3 There he broke the flashing arrows,(D)
the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.[b](E)
4 You are radiant with light,(F)
more majestic than mountains rich with game.
5 The valiant(G) lie plundered,
they sleep their last sleep;(H)
not one of the warriors
can lift his hands.
6 At your rebuke,(I) God of Jacob,
both horse and chariot(J) lie still.
7 It is you alone who are to be feared.(K)
Who can stand(L) before you when you are angry?(M)
8 From heaven you pronounced judgment,
and the land feared(N) and was quiet—
9 when you, God, rose up to judge,(O)
to save all the afflicted(P) of the land.
10 Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise,(Q)
and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.[c]

Psalm 76
Israel’s God—Judge of All the Earth
To the leader: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1 In Judah God is known;
his name is great in Israel.(A)
2 His abode has been established in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.(B)
3 There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah(C)
4 Glorious are you, more majestic
than the everlasting mountains.[a]
5 The courageous were stripped of their spoil;
they sank into sleep;
none of the troops
was able to lift a hand.(D)
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both rider and horse lay stunned.
7 But you indeed are awesome!
Who can stand before you
when your anger is roused?(E)
8 From the heavens you uttered judgment;
the earth feared and was still(F)
9 when God rose up to establish judgment,
to save all the oppressed of the earth. Selah(G)
10 Human wrath serves only to praise you,
when you bind the last bit of your[b] wrath around you.(H)
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,(I)
12 who cuts off the spirit of princes,
who inspires fear in the kings of the earth.(J)
