Psalms 76 / 150
- 1
(Who Can Stand Before You?)To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
In Judah God is known;
his name is great in Israel.
- 2
His abode has been established in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.
- 3
There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah
- 4
Glorious are you, more majestic
than the mountains of prey.
- 5
The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
were unable to use their hands.
- 6
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both rider and horse lay stunned.
- 7
But you, you are to be feared!
Who can stand before you
when once your anger is roused?
- 8
From the heavens you uttered judgment;
the earth feared and was still,
- 9
when God arose to establish judgment,
to save all the humble of the earth. Selah
- 10
Surely the wrath of man shall praise you;
the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt.
- 11
Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;
let all around him bring gifts
to him who is to be feared,
- 12
who cuts off the spirit of princes,
who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
