Psalms 76

¹God is known in Judah; his name is honored in Israel.

²He has his home in Jerusalem; he lives on Mount Zion.

³There he broke the arrows of the enemy, their shields and swords, yes, all their weapons.

⁴How glorious you are, O God! How majestic, as you return from the mountains where you defeated your foes.

⁵Their brave soldiers have been stripped of all they had and now are sleeping the sleep of death; all their strength and skill was useless.

⁶When you threatened them, O God of Jacob, the horses and their riders fell dead.

⁷But you, LORD, are feared by all. No one can stand in your presence when you are angry.

⁸You made your judgment known from heaven; the world was afraid and kept silent,

⁹when you rose up to pronounce judgment, to save all the oppressed on earth.

¹⁰Human anger only results in more praise for you; those who survive the wars will keep your festivals.

¹¹Give the LORD your God what you promised him; bring gifts to him, all you nearby nations. God makes everyone fear him;

¹²he humbles proud princes and terrifies great kings.
