For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a song.
76:2In Salem also is his tabernacle,
And his dwelling-place in Zion.
76:3There he brake the arrows of the bow;
The shield, and the sword, and the battle.
76:4Glorious art thou and excellent,
From the mountains of prey.
76:5The stouthearted are made a spoil,
They have slept their sleep;
And none of the men of might have found their hands.
76:6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
76:7Thou, even thou, art to be feared;
And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
76:8Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven;
The earth feared, and was still,
76:9When God arose to judgment,
To save all the meek of the earth.
76:10Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:
The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.
76:11Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God:
Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
76:12He will cut off the spirit of princes:
He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
