Psalms 76 YLT
Summary: This psalm of Asaph celebrates God's dramatic victory on behalf of Judah, opening "In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel" and locating God's tabernacle "in Salem" and dwelling place "in Zion" (v. 1-2). It depicts the LORD shattering the weapons of an attacking army — "there brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle" (v. 3) — so that even the stoutest warriors are left stunned in sleep. The psalm turns to awe at God's terrifying judgment, which stills the earth and makes even the wrath of men serve to praise him, and closes urging that vows be paid to this God "terrible to the kings of the earth" (v. 12).
1To the Overseer with stringed instruments. --A Psalm of Asaph. --A Song. In Judah is God known, in Israel His name is great.
2And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
3There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. Selah.
4Bright art Thou, honourable above hills of prey.
5Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.
6From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.
7Thou, fearful art Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!
8From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,
9In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. Selah.
10For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.
11Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.
12He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
