Psalm 76
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
In Judah God is known; his Name is great in Israel.
At Salem is his tabernacle, and his dwelling is in Zion.
There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of battle.
You are of more honor and might than the everlasting hills.
The strong of heart have been despoiled; they have slept their sleep; and all those whose hands were mighty have lost their strength.
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse lie stunned upon the ground.
You, even you, are to be feared, and who may stand in your sight when you are angry?
You caused your judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth trembled and was silent,
When God arose to judgment and to help all the meek upon earth.
The wrath of man shall be turned to your praise, and the remnant of fierceness you shall restrain.
Make a vow unto the Lord your God and keep it, all you who are round about him; bring gifts unto him who is worthy to be feared.
He restrains the spirit of princes, and is feared among the kings of the earth.
