Psalms 76 Comparison: Bible in Basic English vs New Heart English Bible
Psalms 76
1In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,
2In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.
3There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah.)
4You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.
5Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.
6At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.
7You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?
8From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,
9When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah.)
10The ... will give you praise; the rest of ...
11Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.
12He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
Psalms 76
1In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.
2His tabernacle is also in Salem; His dwelling place in Zion.
3There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.
4Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
5Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.
6At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
7You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
8You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
9when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.
10Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
11Make vows to the Lord your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
12He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
