Psalms 76

Thomson(i) 1 For the conclusion with hymns. A Psalm by Asaph. An Ode on the Assyrians. n Judea, God is known; his name is great in Israel. 2 His place was in Eirene; and his dwelling is on Sion. 3 There he broke the strong bows, armour, and sword and battle. 4 From everlasting mountains, thou shinest marvellously; 5 all the foolish hearted, were struck with consternation. All those mighty men have slept their sleep, and found nothing of their wealth for their hands. 6 At thy rebuke, God of Jacob, they who had mounted their horses fell fast asleep. 7 Thou art terrible; who therefore can withstand thee, on the account of thine indignation. 8 From heaven thou didst cause the sentence to be heard; the earth was terrified and was still: 9 when God arose for judgment, to save all the meek in heart. 10 Since the secret purpose of man can contribute to thy praise, let the remainder of it cause a festival to be celebrated for thee. 11 Vow and pay your vows to the Lord our God: let all around him bring gifts to him who is awful; 12 to him who taketh away the spirits of chiefs: to him who is terrible to the kings of the earth.
