Psalms 76
1IN Judea, God is known; His name is great in Israel.
2His place was in Eirene; and His dwelling is on Sion.
3There He broke the strong bows, armour, and sword and battle.
4From everlasting mountains, Thou shinest marvellously;
5all the foolish-hearted, were struck with consternation. All those mighty men have slept their sleep, and found nothing of their wealth for their hands.
6At Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they who had mounted their horses fell fast asleep.
7Thou art terrible; who therefore can withstand Thee, on the account of Thine indignation.
8From heaven Thou didst cause the sentence to be heard; the earth was terrified and was still:
9when God arose for judgment, to save all the meek in heart.
10Since the secret purpose of man can contribute to Thy praise, let the remainder of it cause a festival to be celebrated for Thee.
11Vow and pay your vows to the Lord our God: let all around Him bring gifts to Him who is awful—
12to Him who taketh away the spirits of chiefs—to Him who is terrible to the kings of the earth.
