Who Can Stand Before You? (PSA 76:1-12)

To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

[76:1] In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel.

[76:2] His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.

[76:3] There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

[76:4] Glorious are you, more majestic than the mountains full of prey.

[76:5] The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands.

[76:6] At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned.

[76:7] But you, you are to be feared! Who can stand before you when once your anger is roused?

[76:8] From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still,

[76:9] when God arose to establish judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

[76:10] Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt.

[76:11] Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared,

[76:12] who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
