Psalm chapter 76
English Standard Version
1To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel. 2His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion. 3There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah 4Glorious are you, more majestic than the mountains full of prey. 5The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands. 6At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned. 7But you, you are to be feared! Who can stand before you when once your anger is roused? 8From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still, 9when God arose to establish judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah 10Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt. 11Make your vows to the LORD your God and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared, 12who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
New International Version
1For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is renowned in Judah; in Israel his name is great. 2His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.
3There he broke the flashing arrows, the shields and the swords, the weapons of war. 4You are radiant with light, more majestic than mountains rich with game. 5The valiant lie plundered, they sleep their last sleep; not one of the warriors can lift his hands.
New American Standard Bible
1God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel. 2His tabernacle is in Salem; His dwelling place also is in Zion. 3There He broke the flaming arrows, The shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah 4You are resplendent, More majestic than the mountains of prey. 5The stouthearted were plundered, They sank into sleep; And none of the warriors could use his hands. 6At Your rebuke, God of Jacob, Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep. 7You, You indeed are to be feared, And who may stand in Your presence, once You are angry? 8You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth feared and was still 9When God arose to judgment, To save all the humble of the earth. Selah 10For the wrath of mankind shall praise You; You will encircle Yourself with a remnant of wrath. 11Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them; All who are around Him are to bring gifts to Him who is to be feared. 12He will cut off the spirit of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
Christian Standard Bible
1God is known in Judah; his name is great in Israel. 2His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.
3There he shatters the bow's flaming arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah 4You are resplendent and majestic coming down from the mountains of prey. 5The brave-hearted have been plundered; they have slipped into their final sleep. None of the warriors was able to lift a hand.
New Living Translation
1For the choir director: A psalm of Asaph. A song to be accompanied by stringed instruments. God is honored in Judah; his name is great in Israel. 2Jerusalem is where he lives; Mount Zion is his home.
4You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains. 5Our boldest enemies have been plundered. They lie before us in the sleep of death. No warrior could lift a hand against us. 6At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob, their horses and chariots lay still.
7No wonder you are greatly feared! Who can stand before you when your anger explodes? 8From heaven you sentenced your enemies; the earth trembled and stood silent before you.
King James Version
1{To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.} In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. 2In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. 3There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah. 4Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. 5The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands. 6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? 8Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, 9When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. 10Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. 11Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. 12He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
