Psalms 76

¹Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

²I cried out to the Lord with my voice, to God with my voice, and he attended to me.

³In the days of my tribulation, I sought God, with my hands opposite him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be consoled.

⁴I was mindful of God, and I was delighted, and I was distressed, and my spirit fell away.

⁵My eyes anticipated the vigils. I was disturbed, and I did not speak.

⁶I considered the days of antiquity, and I held the years of eternity in my mind.

⁷And I meditated in the night with my heart, and I was distressed, and I examined my spirit.

⁸So then, will God reject for eternity? Will he not continue to allow himself to show favor?

⁹Or, will he cut off his mercy in the end, from generation to generation?

¹⁰And would God ever forget to be merciful? Or, would he, in his wrath, restrict his mercies?

¹¹And I said, “Now I have begun. This change is from the right hand of the Most High.”

¹²I was mindful of the works of the Lord. For I will be mindful from the beginning of your wonders,

¹³and I will meditate on all your works. And I will take part in your intentions.

¹⁴Your way, O God, is in what is holy. Which God is great like our God?

¹⁵You are the God who performs miracles. You have made your virtue known among the peoples.

¹⁶With your arm, you have redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and of Joseph.

¹⁷The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and they were afraid, and the depths were stirred up.

¹⁸Great was the sound of the waters. The clouds uttered a voice. For your arrows also pass by.

¹⁹The voice of your thunder is like a wheel. Your flashes have illuminated the whole world. The earth has quaked and trembled.

²⁰Your way is through the sea, and your paths are through many waters. And your traces will not be known.

²¹You have conducted your people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

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 brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

⁴Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

⁵The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

⁶At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the 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 judgment 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 remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

¹¹Vow, and pay unto the Lord your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

¹²He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
