[76:1] God is known in Judah; his name is honored in Israel.
[76:2] He has his home in Jerusalem; he lives on Mount Zion.
[76:3] There he broke the arrows of the enemy, their shields and swords, yes, all their weapons.
[76:4] How glorious you are, O God! How majestic, as you return from the mountains where you defeated your foes.
[76:5] Their brave soldiers have been stripped of all they had and now are sleeping the sleep of death; all their strength and skill was useless.
[76:6] When you threatened them, O God of Jacob, the horses and their riders fell dead.
[76:7] But you, Lord, are feared by all. No one can stand in your presence when you are angry.
[76:8] You made your judgment known from heaven; the world was afraid and kept silent,
[76:9] when you rose up to pronounce judgment, to save all the oppressed on earth.
[76:10] Human anger only results in more praise for you; those who survive the wars will keep your festivals.
[76:11] Give the Lord your God what you promised him; bring gifts to him, all you nearby nations. God makes everyone fear him;
[76:12] he humbles proud princes and terrifies great kings.
