76:1 For the worship leader. A song of Asaph accompanied by strings. The One known in Judah is the True God; in Israel, His name is great.
76:2 He has made Salem His home; indeed, He rests in Zion.
76:3 There He destroyed the instruments of war: flaming arrows, shields, and swords. [pause]
76:4 You rise and shine like the dawn. You are more majestic than the mountains where game runs wild.
76:5 The strong-hearted enemies were plundered; they were buried in slumber. Even the noble warriors could not raise a hand to stop You.
76:6 O True God of Jacob, with just Your rebuke both horse and rider fell into a deep sleep.
76:7 You are feared; yes, You. And who can stand before You when Your anger flares?
76:8 You decreed judgment from the heavens. The earth heard it and was petrified with fear, completely still,
76:9 When the True God arose for judgment to deliver all the meek of the earth. [pause]
76:10 For the wrath of man will end in praise of You, and whatever wrath is left You will wrap around Yourself like a belt.
76:11 Make vows to the Eternal your God, and do all you promised; Let all the nations around you bring gifts to the God who arouses fear and awe.
76:12 He squashes the arrogant spirit of the rulers and inspires fear in the hearts of the kings of the earth.
