Psalms 76 (FBV)
undefined For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. 1 God is famous in Judah; his reputation is great throughout Israel. 2 He lives in Jerusalem; his home is in Zion. 3 There he broke the flaming arrows, the shields, the swords, and the weapons of war. Selah. 4 You shine with light; you are more majestic than the everlasting mountains. 5 Our most courageous enemies have been plundered. They sleep the sleep of death. Even the strongest of them could not raise a hand against us. 6 At your command, God of Jacob, both horse and rider fell down dead. 7 You are terrifying—who can stand before you when you are angry? 8 From heaven you announced judgment. Everyone on earth was afraid and stood still, 9 when you stood up to judge, to save the oppressed people of the earth. Selah. 10 Even human anger against you makes you look glorious, for you wear it alike a crown. 11 Make your promises to God and be sure to keep them. Everyone bring gifts to the awe-inspiring one. 12 For he humbles proud leaders; he terrifies the kings of the earth.
