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