Psalm 76 - Modern English Version

For the Music Director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

¹ In Judah God is known; His name is great in Israel.

² His abode is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.

³ There He broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.    Selah

⁴ You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

⁵ The stouthearted were plundered; they sank into sleep; and none of the mighty men could use his hands.

⁶ At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the rider and horse lay stunned.

⁷ But You indeed are to be feared; who may stand in Your presence once You are angry?

⁸ You caused 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 You; with the remainder of wrath You will gird Yourself.

¹¹ Make your vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them; let all who are around Him bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

¹² He will cut off the spirit of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
