Psalms 76

The God Who Always Wins

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.

1 People in Judah know God;
    his fame is great in Israel.
2 His Tent is in Jerusalem;
    his home is on Mount Zion.
3 There God broke the flaming arrows,
    the shields, the swords, and the weapons of war. Selah

4 God, how wonderful you are!
    You are more splendid than the hills full of animals.
5 The brave soldiers were stripped
    as they lay asleep in death.
Not one warrior
    had the strength to stop it.
6 God of Jacob, when you spoke strongly,
    horses and riders fell dead.
7 You are feared;
    no one can stand against you when you are angry.
8 From heaven you gave the decision,
    and the earth was afraid and silent.
9 God, you stood up to judge
    and to save the needy people of the earth. Selah
10 People praise you for your anger against evil.
    Those who live through your anger are stopped from doing more evil.

11 Make and keep your promises to the Lord your God.
    From all around, gifts should come to the God we worship.
12 God breaks the spirits of great leaders;
    the kings on earth fear him.
