Psalm 76

God Is Majestic

Praise

God is famous in Israel — His home is in Jerusalem and He is more powerful than the mightiest warriors. When He speaks in judgment, the whole earth goes silent and still. God is to be respected and honored by all the kings on earth.

  1. 1God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.
  2. 2His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.
  3. 3There He broke the flashing arrows, the shield and the sword, the weapons of war. Selah
  4. 4You are radiant and majestic, more than the mountains of prey.
  5. 5The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep; not one of the warriors can lift his hands.
  6. 6At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and chariot lie still.
  7. 7You alone are to be feared. Who can stand before You when You are angry?
  8. 8From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the land feared and was quiet—
  9. 9when You, O God, arose to judge, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah
  10. 10Surely the wrath of men will praise You, and the survivors of Your wrath are restrained.
  11. 11Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them; let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared.
  12. 12He breaks the spirit of rulers; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
