Psalms 76:2-12 ▼

2 His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.

3 There he shatters the bow’s flaming arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

4 You are resplendent and majestic coming down from the mountains of prey.

5 The brave-hearted have been plundered; they have slipped into their final sleep. None of the warriors was able to lift a hand.

6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse lay still.

7 And you—you are to be feared. When you are angry, who can stand before you?

8 From heaven you pronounced judgment. The earth feared and grew quiet

9 when God rose up to judge and to save all the lowly of the earth. Selah

10 Even human wrath will praise you; you will clothe yourself with the wrath that remains.

11 Make and keep your vows to the LORD your God; let all who are around him bring tribute to the awe-inspiring one.

12 He humbles the spirit of leaders; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
