God’s Name Is Great in Israel

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

76 God is (A)known in Judah;
His name is (B)great in Israel.
So His [a](C)tabernacle is in (D)Salem;
His (E)dwelling place is in Zion.
There He (F)broke the [b]flaming arrows,
The shield and the sword and the battle. [c]Selah.

You are shining,
Majestic from the mountains of prey.
The (G)stouthearted were plundered,
[d]They sank into sleep;
And none of the [e]warriors could use his hands.
At Your (H)rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both (I)chariot rider and horse slumbered into a deep sleep.
But You, You are [f](J)fearsome;
And (K)who can stand in Your presence when once [g]You are angry?

You made Your cause to be heard from heaven;
The earth (L)feared and was quiet
When God (M)arose to judgment,
To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.
10 For the [h](N)wrath of man shall praise You;
With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.

11 (O)Make vows to Yahweh your God and (P)pay them;
Let all who are around Him (Q)bring gifts to the Fearsome One.
12 He will cut off the spirit of princes;
He is [i](R)feared by the kings of the earth.
