Psalm
76
[Recommended tunes: Martyrs, Montrose, York]
To
the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
|
1In Judah's land God is well known,
his name's in Isr'el great:
2In Salem is his tabernacle,
in Sion is his seat.
|
|
3There arrows of the bow he brake,
the shield, the sword, the war.
4More glorious thou than hills of prey,
more excellent art far.
|
|
5Those that were stout of heart are spoil'd,
they slept their sleep outright;
And
none of those their hands did find,
that were the men of might.
|
|
6When thy rebuke, O Jacob's God,
had forth against them past,
Their
horses and their chariots both
were in a dead sleep cast.
|
|
7Thou, Lord, ev'n thou art he that should
be fear'd; and who is he
That
may stand up before thy sight,
if once thou angry be?
|
|
8From heav'n thou judgment caus'd be heard;
the earth was still with fear,
9When God to judgment rose, to save
all meek on earth that were.
|
|
10Surely the very wrath of man
unto thy praise redounds:
Thou
to the remnant of his wrath
wilt set restraining bounds.
|
|
11Vow to the Lord your God, and pay:
all ye that near him be,
Bring
gifts and presents unto him;
for to be fear'd is he.
|
|
12By him the sp'rits shall be cut off
of those that princes are:
Unto
the kings that are on earth
he fearful doth appear.
