Psalm 76

Who Can Stand Before You?

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1  In Judah God is known;
his name is great in Israel.
2  His abode has been established in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.
3  There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

4  Glorious are you, more majestic
than the mountains of prey.
5  The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
were unable to use their hands.
6  At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both rider and horse lay stunned.

7  But you, you are to be feared!
Who can stand before you
when once your anger is roused?
8  From the heavens you uttered judgment;
the earth feared and was still,
9  when God arose to establish judgment,
to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

10  Surely the wrath of man shall praise you;
the remnantt of wrath you will put on like a belt.
11  Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;
let all around him bring gifts
to him who is to be feared,
12  who cuts off the spirit of princes,
who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.

Psalm 76

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 deep 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.
