76 psalm — Библия — New Living Translation

For the choir director: A psalm of Asaph. A song to be accompanied by stringed instruments.

¹ God is honored in Judah;
his name is great in Israel.

² Jerusalema is where he lives;
Mount Zion is his home.

³ There he has broken the fiery arrows of the enemy,
the shields and swords and weapons of war.
Interlude

⁴ You are glorious and more majestic
than the everlasting mountains.b

⁵ Our boldest enemies have been plundered.
They lie before us in the sleep of death.
No warrior could lift a hand against us.

⁶ At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob,
their horses and chariots lay still.

⁷ No wonder you are greatly feared!
Who can stand before you when your anger explodes?

⁸ From heaven you sentenced your enemies;
the earth trembled and stood silent before you.

⁹ You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God,
and to rescue the oppressed of the earth.
Interlude

¹⁰ Human defiance only enhances your glory,
for you use it as a weapon.c

¹¹ Make vows to the LORD your God, and keep them.
Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.

¹² For he breaks the pride of princes,
and the kings of the earth fear him.
