God’s Name Is Great in Israel

¹God is known in Judah;

His name is great in Israel.

²So His tabernacle is in Salem;[#76:2 Lit shelter]

His dwelling place is in Zion.

³There He broke the flaming arrows,[#76:3 Lit fiery shafts of the bow]

The shield and the sword and the battle. Selah.

⁴¶You are shining,

Majestic from the mountains of prey.

⁵The stouthearted were plundered,

They sank into sleep;

And none of the warriors could use his hands.

⁶At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

Both chariot rider and horse slumbered into a deep sleep.

⁷But You, You are fearsome;[#76:7 Or awesome]

And who can stand in Your presence when once You are angry?

⁸¶You made Your cause to be heard from heaven;

The earth feared and was quiet

⁹When God arose to judgment,

To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.

¹⁰For the wrath of man shall praise You;[#76:10 Lit wraths]

With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.

¹¹¶Make vows to Yahweh your God and pay them ;

Let all who are around Him bring gifts to the Fearsome One.

¹²He will cut off the spirit of princes;

He is feared by the kings of the earth.
