Psalms 76
God is known in Judea and Israel, and his dwelling place is in Zion, where he has broken the powers of war. He is a powerful and terrible God who causes the earth to tremble and brings judgment from heaven to save the meek. Those who oppose him will fall, and all people will confess to him and pay homage. The psalmist urges people to make vows and pay them to the Lord, acknowledging his power and authority.
Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is greatAnd his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in ZionIn that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battleYou illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternityAll the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their handsAt your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleepYou are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrathYou have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quietedwhen God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earthFor the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to youMake vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terribleeven to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth
