Psalms 76, Modern English Version

For the Music Director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1In Judah God is known;

in Israel His name is great.

2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 In Salem is His abode,

and His dwelling place in Zion.

3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 There He broke the fiery arrows of the bow,

the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 You are more glorious and excellent

than the mountains of prey.

5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 The strong of heart have been plundered;

they have been put to sleep;

and none of the mighty men

could use their hands.

6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

both the chariot and horse lay stunned.

7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 You, even You, are to be feared;

and who may stand in Your sight from the moment of Your anger?

8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 From the heavens You gave their judgment,

and the earth feared and was silent,

9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 when God arose to judgment,

to save all the meek of the earth. Selah

10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 Surely the wrath of people shall bring You praise;

the remainder of wrath You shall put on.

11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 Make your vows to the Lord your God, and fulfill them;

let all who surround Him

bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

12He reduces the spirit of princes,

and is feared among the kings of the earth.
