Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Asafu.

76 Katonda amanyiddwa mu Yuda;
    erinnya lye kkulu mu Isirayiri.
(A)Eweema ye eri mu Yerusaalemi;
    era abeera mu Sayuuni.
(B)Eyo gy’asinziira n’amenyaamenya obusaale bw’omulabe obujja bwesooza;
    n’engabo n’ebitala n’ebyokulwanyisa byonna eby’olutalo.

Owa ekitangaala,
    oli wa kitiibwa okusinga ensozi ennene eziriko ensolo eziyiggibwa.
(C)Ab’amaanyi bagalamira nga banyaguluddwa,
    beebaka ne batasobola kugolokoka,
ne watabaawo n’omu asobola
    okuyimusa omukono gwe.
(D)Bw’obaboggolera, Ayi Katonda wa Yakobo,
    abeebagala embalaasi ezisika ebigaali bagwiira wamu n’ebigaali ne batagolokoka.

(E)Ggwe ayi Katonda, osaanira okutiibwanga.
    Ani ayinza okuyimirira mu maaso go ng’osunguwadde?
(F)Osalira abantu emisango ng’osinziira mu ggulu,
    ensi n’etya n’ekankana n’esirika olw’obusungu bwo,
(G)bw’ogolokoka okusala omusango,
    okuwonya ababonyaabonyezebwa mu nsi.
10 (H)Bw’osunguwalira omuntu kikuleetera okutenderezebwa,
    n’abo b’otasunguwalidde ne beegendereza.
11 (I)Mweyame obweyamo bwammwe eri Mukama Katonda wammwe, era mubutuukirizenga;
    bonna abamuli okumpi bamuleetere ebirabo,
    kubanga asaanidde okutiibwa.
12 Mukama akkakkanya abalangira,
    ne bakabaka b’ensi bamutya.

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.

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.
His (D)abode has been established in (E)Salem,
    his (F)dwelling place in Zion.
There he (G)broke the flashing arrows,
    the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

Glorious are you, more majestic
    (H)than the mountains full of (I)prey.
(J)The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
    (K)they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
    were unable to use their hands.
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
    both (L)rider and horse lay stunned.

(M)But you, you are to be feared!
    Who can (N)stand before you
    when once your anger is roused?
From the heavens you uttered judgment;
    (O)the earth feared and was still,
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.
