Psalms 76 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Young's Literal Translation
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
1To the Overseer with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. In Judah is God known, in Israel His name is great.
2And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
3There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. Selah.
4Bright art Thou, honourable above hills of prey.
5Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.
6From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.
7Thou, fearful art Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!
8From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,
9In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. Selah.
10For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.
11Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.
12He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
