76:1  This psalm is a song that Asaph wrote for the music leader. Sing it with the music of stringed instruments. People in Judah know who God is. He is famous in Israel.
76:2  His home is in Salem. Yes, he lives in Zion.
76:3  There he destroyed all the weapons of our enemy, their arrows, their shields, and their swords. He destroyed everything that they use to fight wars. Selah.
76:4  God, you are the one who shines with glory! You are greater than the greatest mountains.
76:5  You won against brave soldiers, so that we robbed them of everything. Now they are sleeping, and they will never wake up! They are completely helpless.
76:6  God of Jacob, when your enemies heard your battle cry, both the horses and their riders fell down dead.
76:7  Yes, everyone is afraid of you, our God! When you are angry, nobody can stand against you.
76:8  From heaven you said how you would judge people. Everybody on earth became afraid. They could not say anything!
76:9  This happened when you came to punish wicked people. You came to rescue the weak and poor people in the land. Selah.
76:10  Everybody will praise you, even those who are angry against you. You will show them how angry you really are.
76:11  Make promises to the Lord your God, and do what you have promised. Everyone who serves God should bring gifts to him. We must respect him with fear.
76:12  He makes proud rulers become humble. All the kings of the world should be afraid of him.
