Psalms 76
God's Name Is Great in Israel
1 God is (C1)known in Judah;
His name is (C2)great in Israel.
2 So His (F1)(C1)tabernacle is in (C2)Salem;
His (C3)dwelling place is in Zion.
3 There He (C1)broke the (F1)flaming arrows,
The shield and the sword and the battle. Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude">(F2)Selah.
4 You are shining,
Majestic from the mountains of prey.
5 The (C1)stouthearted were plundered,
(F1)They sank into sleep;
And none of the (F2)warriors could use his hands.
6 At Your (C1)rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both (C2)chariot rider and horse slumbered into a deep sleep.
7 But You, You are (F1)(C1)fearsome;
And (C2)who can stand in Your presence when once (F2)You are angry?
8 You made Your cause to be heard from heaven;
The earth (C1)feared and was quiet
9 When God (C1)arose to judgment,
To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.
10 For the (F1)(C1)wrath of man shall praise You;
With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.
11 (C1)Make vows to Yahweh your God and (C2)pay them;
Let all who are around Him (C3)bring gifts to the Fearsome One.
12 He will cut off the spirit of princes;
He is (F1)(C1)feared by the kings of the earth.
