# Chapter 76
|
|
1 God is honored in Judah;
|
|
his name is great in Israel.
|
|
2 Jerusalem 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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. |
