Psalms 76 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible
Psalms 76
1In Judah is God known: His name is great in Israel.
2In Salem also is his tabernacle, And his dwelling-place in Zion.
3There he brake the arrows of the bow; The shield, and the sword, and the battle. [Selah
4Glorious art thou and excellent, From the mountains of prey.
5The stouthearted are made a spoil, They have slept their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands.
6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7Thou, even thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,
9When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. [Selah
10Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.
11Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
Psalms 76
1God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.
2His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.
3There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war. Selah
4You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.
5The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.
6At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.
7You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?
8From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still
9when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth. Selah
10Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.
11Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.
12He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
