Psalm 76

Who Can Stand Before You?

1 In a Judah God is known;
His name is great in Israel. 2 In 1 Salem 2 also is His tabernacle,
And His dwelling place in Zion. 3 There He broke the arrows of the bow,
The shield and sword of battle. Selah

4 You are more glorious and excellent
b Than the mountains of prey. 5 c The stouthearted were plundered;
d They 3 have sunk into their sleep;
And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands. 6 e At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep.

7 You, Yourself, are to be feared;
And f who may stand in Your presence
When once You are angry? 8 g You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
h The earth feared and was still, 9 When God i arose to judgment,
To deliver all the oppressed of the earth. Selah

10 j Surely the wrath of man shall praise You;
With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself. 11 k Make vows to the LORD your God, and pay them;
l Let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared. 12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes;
m He is awesome to the kings of the earth.
