Psalm 76

The God of Victory

1God is known in Judah. In Israel his name is great.

2His shelter is in Salem. His dwelling place is in Zion.

3There he broke the flaming arrows,

the shield and the sword, and the weapons for battle. Interlude

4You shine brightly as the Mighty One

from the mountains full of prey.

5The strong-hearted are plundered.

They have fallen into their final sleep.

Not one of the strong men can lift his hands.

6At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horses sleep.[#76:6 Or war cry]

7You are to be feared, yes, you.

Who can stand before you at the time of your wrath?

8From heaven you announced judgment.

The earth feared and was quiet

9when you rose up to judge, O God,

and to save all the afflicted of the earth. Interlude

10Even the wrath of mankind will bring you praise.[#76:10 Or your wrath against man]

You wear what remains of your wrath like a belt.

11Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them.

Let all who are around him bring tribute to the one who is fearsome.

12He restrains the spirit of nobles.

He is fearsome against the kings of the earth.
