76 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 brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than 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 the 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 judgment 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 remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

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.

To the director: With instruments. One of Asaph’s songs of praise.

76 People in Judah know God.
People in Israel respect his name.
2 His Temple is in Salem. [ a ]
His house is on Mount Zion.
3 There he shattered the arrows,
shields, swords, and other weapons of war. Selah

4 God, you are glorious coming back
from the hills where you defeated your enemies.
5 They thought they were strong, but now they lie dead in the fields.
Their bodies are stripped of all they owned.
They could not defend themselves. [ b ]
6 The God of Jacob shouted at them,
and their army of chariots and horses fell dead.
7 God, you are awesome!
No one can stand against you when you are angry.
8-9 You stood as judge and announced your decision.
You saved the humble people of the land.
From heaven you gave the decision,
and the whole earth was silent and afraid.
10 Even human anger can bring you honor
when you use it to punish your enemies. [ c ]

11 People, you made promises to the Lord your God.
Now give him what you promised.
People everywhere fear and respect God,
and they will bring gifts to him.
12 God defeats great leaders;
all the kings on earth fear him.

76 Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph.

2 I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

3 In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:

4 I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.

5 My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.

6 I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.

7 And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.

8 Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?

9 Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?

10 Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?

11 And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.

12 I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.

13 And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.

14 Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?

15 Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:

16 With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.

17 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.

18 Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:

19 The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.

20 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.

21 Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
