Psalm 76

God’s Name Is Great in Israel

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song.

¹God is known in Judah;

His name is great in Israel.

² His tent is in Salem,^a 

His dwelling place in Zion.

³ There He shattered the flaming arrows,

the shield and sword and weapons of war.

Selah

⁴ You are resplendent with light,

more majestic than mountains filled with game.

⁵ The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep.

No men of might could lift a hand.

⁶ At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

both horse and rider lie stunned.

⁷ You alone are to be feared.

When You are angry, who can stand before You?

⁸ From heaven You pronounced judgment,

and the earth feared and was still

⁹ when God rose up to judge,

to save all the lowly of the earth.

Selah

¹⁰ Even the wrath of man shall praise You;

with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.^b 

¹¹ Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God;

let all the neighboring lands bring tribute

to Him who is to be feared.

¹² He breaks the spirits of princes;

He is feared by the kings of the earth.
