Psalm 76

God, the Powerful Judge

For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph.(a) A song.

1 God is known in Judah;
His name is great in Israel.(b)
2 His tent is in Salem,[a]
His dwelling place in Zion.(c)
3 There He shatters the bow's flaming arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.(d)Selah

4 You are resplendent and majestic
coming down from the mountains of prey.(e)
5 The brave-hearted have been plundered;
they have slipped into their final sleep.
None of the warriors was able to lift a hand.(f)
6 At Your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse lay still.(g)

7 And You—You are to be feared.[b]
When You are angry,
who can stand before You?(h)
8 From heaven You pronounced judgment.
The earth feared and grew quiet(i)
9 when God rose up to judge
and to save all the lowly of the earth.(j)Selah
10 Even human wrath will praise You;
You will clothe Yourself
with their remaining wrath.[c](k)

11 Make and keep your vows
to the Lord your God;(l)
let all who are around Him bring tribute
to the awe-inspiring One.[d](m)
12 He humbles the spirit of leaders;
He is feared by the kings of the earth.(n)
