76:1 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel.

76:2 His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.

76:3 There he broke the flashing arrows, the shields and the swords, the weapons of war. Selah

76:4 You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains rich with game.

76:5 Valiant men lie plundered, they sleep their last sleep; not one of the warriors can lift his hands.

76:6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and chariot lie still.

76:7 You alone are to be feared. Who can stand before you when you are angry?

76:8 From heaven you pronounced judgment, and the land feared and was quiet--

76:9 when you, O God, rose up to judge, to save all the afflicted of the land. Selah

76:10 Surely your wrath against men brings you praise, and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.

76:11 Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them; let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared.

76:12 He breaks the spirit of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
