1 To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song.

2 \76:1\In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,

3 \76:2\In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.

4 \76:3\There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah.)

5 \76:4\You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.

6 \76:5\Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.

7 \76:6\At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.

8 \76:7\You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?

9 \76:8\From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,

10 \76:9\When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah.)

11 \76:10\The ... will give you praise; the rest of ...

12 \76:11\Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.

13 \76:12\He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a song.

1 In Judah is God known:

His name is great in Israel.

2 In Salem also is his tabernacle,

And his dwelling-place in Zion.

3 There he brake the arrows of the bow;

The shield, and the sword, and the battle. [Selah

4 Glorious art thou and excellent,

From the mountains of prey.

5 The stouthearted are made a spoil,

They have slept their sleep;

And none of the men of might have found their hands.

6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,

Both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared;

And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

8 Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven;

The earth feared, and was still,

9 When God arose to judgment,

To save all the meek of the earth. [Selah

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:

The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.

11 Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God:

Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

12 He will cut off the spirit of princes:

He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
