Psalm 76

God, the Powerful Judge

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph.^(A) A song.

¹God is known in Judah;
His name is great in Israel.^(B)
²His tent is in Salem,^[a]
His dwelling place in Zion.^(C)
³There He shatters the bow’s flaming arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.^(D)Selah

⁴You are resplendent and majestic
coming down from the mountains of prey.^(E)
⁵The brave-hearted have been plundered;
they have slipped into their final sleep.
None of the warriors was able to lift a hand.^(F)
⁶At Your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse lay still.^(G)

⁷And You—You are to be feared.^[b]
When You are angry,
who can stand before You?^(H)
⁸From heaven You pronounced judgment.
The earth feared and grew quiet^(I)
⁹when God rose up to judge
and to save all the lowly of the earth.^(J)Selah
¹⁰Even human wrath will praise You;
You will clothe Yourself
with their remaining wrath.^[c]^(K)

¹¹Make and keep your vows
to the Lord your God;^(L)
let all who are around Him bring tribute
to the awe-inspiring One.^[d]^(M)
¹²He humbles the spirit of leaders;
He is feared by the kings of the earth.^(N)
