Psalms 76
Of Asaph
1 God is renowned in Judah, his name is great in Israel;
2 his tent is pitched in Salem, his home is in Zion;
3 there he has broken the lightning-swift arrow, the shield, the sword and the line of battle. (pause)
4 You the Illustrious and Majestic: mountains of spoil
5 have been captured; heroes are now sleeping their last sleep, the warriors’ arms have failed them;
6 at your reproof, God of Jacob, chariot and horse stand spellbound.
7 You the Terrible! Who can oppose you and your furious onslaught?
8 When your verdicts thunder from heaven, earth stays silent with dread;
9 when God stands up to give judgement and to save all the humble of the earth. (pause)
10 Man’s wrath only adds to your glory; the survivors of your wrath you will draw like a girdle around you;
11 fulfil the promises you make to Yahweh your God, make offerings to the Terrible, you who surround him;
12 he snuffs out the lives of princes, he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
