Psalms 76 (NLT)

¹God is honored in Judah;his name is great in Israel.

²Jerusalem is where he lives;Mount Zion is his home.

³There he has broken the fiery arrows of the enemy,the shields and swords and weapons of war. Interlude

⁴You are glorious and more majesticthan the everlasting mountains.

⁵Our boldest enemies have been plundered.They lie before us in the sleep of death.No warrior could lift a hand against us.

⁶At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob,their horses and chariots lay still.

⁷No wonder you are greatly feared!Who can stand before you when your anger explodes?

⁸From heaven you sentenced your enemies;the earth trembled and stood silent before you.

⁹You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God,and to rescue the oppressed of the earth. Interlude

¹⁰Human defiance only enhances your glory,for you use it as a weapon.

¹¹Make vows to the LORD your God, and keep them.Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.

¹²For he breaks the pride of princes,and the kings of the earth fear him.
