Psalms 76:1-9 ▼

1 To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

2 His tabernacle is in Salem (Jerusalem); His dwelling place is in Zion.

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

4 You are glorious and resplendent, More majestic than the mountains of prey.

5 The stouthearted have been stripped of their spoil, They have slept the sleep [of death]; And none of the warriors could use his hands.

6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep [of death].

7 You, even You, are to be feared [with the submissive wonder of reverence]; Who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry?

8 You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth feared and was quiet

9 When God arose to [establish] judgment, To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.
