75
(76) For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian.
1 God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.
2 And his place has been in * peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.
3 There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Pause.
4 You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.
5 All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.
7 You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger?
8 You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. Pause.
10 For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you.
11 Vow, and pay your vows to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, even to him that is terrible,
12 and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
* 75:2 Or, Salem, see the Hebrew.
