76:1 For the director of music. A psalm of Asaph. A song to be played on stringed instruments. In the land of Judah, God is well known. In Israel, his name is great.
76:2 His tent is in Jerusalem. The place where he lives is on Mount Zion.
76:3 There he broke the deadly arrows of his enemies. He broke their shields and swords. He broke their weapons of war.
76:4 God, you shine like a very bright light. You are more majestic than mountains full of wild animals.
76:5 Brave soldiers have been robbed of everything they had. Now they lie there, sleeping in death. Not one of them can even lift his hands.
76:6 God of Jacob, at your command both horse and chariot lie still.
76:7 People should have respect for you alone. Who can stand in front of you when you are angry?
76:8 From heaven you handed down your sentence. The land was afraid and became quiet.
76:9 God, that happened when you rose up to judge. It happened when you came to save all your suffering people in the land.
76:10 Your anger against sinners brings you praise. Those who live through your anger gather to worship you.
76:11 Make promises to the Lord your God and keep them. Let all the neighboring nations bring gifts to the God who should be respected.
76:12 He breaks the proud spirit of rulers. The kings of the earth have respect for him.
