The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 76. For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel. His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion. There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah. Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game. Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands. At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry? You pronounced judgement from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent, when God arose to judgement, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah. Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained. Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfil them! Let all of his neighbours bring presents to him who is to be feared. He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

Worship Lyrics

For the Chief Musician
On stringed instruments
A Psalm by Asaph
A song
In Judah, God is known
His name is great in Israel
His tabernacle is also in Salem
His dwelling place in Zion
There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield
And the sword
And
The weapons of war
Selah
Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game
Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep
None of the men of war can lift their hands
At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep
You, even you, are to be feared
Who can stand in your sight when you are angry
You pronounced judgement from heaven
The earth feared, and was silent
When God arose to judgement, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth
Selah
Surely the wrath of man praises you
The survivors of your wrath are restrained
Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfil them
Let all of his neighbours bring presents to him who is to be feared
He will cut off the spirit of princes
He is feared by the kings of the earth
