PSALMS 76
1
God is famous in Judah; his reputation is great throughout Israel.
2
He lives in Jerusalem; his home is in Zion.
3
There he broke the flaming arrows, the shields, the swords, and the weapons of war. Selah.
4
You shine with light; you are more majestic than the everlasting mountains.

Notes
+
Septuagint reading. Hebrew has “mountains of prey.”
5
Our most courageous enemies have been plundered. They sleep the sleep of death. Even the strongest of them could not raise a hand against us.
6
At your command, God of Jacob, both horse and rider fell down dead.
7
You are terrifying—who can stand before you when you are angry?
8
From heaven you announced judgment. Everyone on earth was afraid and stood still,
9
when you stood up to judge, to save the oppressed people of the earth. Selah.
10
Even human anger against you makes you look glorious, for you wear it alike a crown.

Notes
+

11
Make your promises to God and be sure to keep them. Everyone bring gifts to the awe-inspiring one.
12
For he humbles proud leaders; he terrifies the kings of the earth.
