1.1 KiB
1.1 KiB
Psalm 76
- God is honored in Judah;
his name is great in Israel.
- Jerusalem is where he lives;
Mount Zion is his home.
- There he has broken the fiery arrows of the enemy,
the shields and swords and weapons of war. Interlude
-
You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains.
-
Our boldest enemies have been plundered.
They lie before us in the sleep of death.
No warrior could lift a hand against us.
- At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob,
their horses and chariots lay still.
- No wonder you are greatly feared!
Who can stand before you when your anger explodes?
- From heaven you sentenced your enemies;
the earth trembled and stood silent before you.
- You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God,
and to rescue the oppressed of the earth. Interlude
-
Human defiance only enhances your glory, for you use it as a weapon.
-
Make vows to the LORD your God, and keep them.
Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.
- For he breaks the pride of princes,
and the kings of the earth fear him.
