LXXVI THE VICTORIOUS POWER OF THE GOD OF JACOB
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm
of Asaph, a Song.
［1］ IN Judah is God known:
His name is great in Israel.
［2］ In Salem also is his tabernacle,〖Or, covert.〗
And his dwelling-place〖Or, lair.〗 in Zion.
［3］ There he brake the arrows〖Or, fiery shafts. Or, lightnings.〗 of the bow;
The shield, and the sword, and the battle. ［Selah
［4］ Glorious art thou and excellent,
From〖Or, more than.〗 the mountains of prey.
［5］ The stouthearted are made a spoil,
They have slept their sleep;
And none of the men of might have found their hands.
［6］ At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
［7］ Thou, even thou, art to be feared;
And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
［8］ Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven;
The earth feared, and was still,
［9］ When God arose to judgment,
To save all the meek of the earth. ［Selah
［10］ Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:
The residue of wrath shalt thou gird〖Or, restrain.〗 upon thee.
［11］ Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God:
Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
［12］ He will cut off the spirit of princes:
He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
