Psalms 76 (NLT)

Psalms Chapter 76 (NLT)

Compare with Version:

¹ For the choir director: A psalm of Asaph. A song to be accompanied by stringed instruments. God is honored in Judah; his name is great in Israel.

² Jerusalem[110] is where he lives; Mount Zion is his home.

³ There he has broken the fiery arrows of the enemy, the shields and swords and weapons of war. Interlude

⁴ You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains.[111]

⁵ Our boldest enemies have been plundered. They lie before us in the sleep of death. No warrior could lift a hand against us.

⁶ At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob, their horses and chariots lay still.

⁷ No wonder you are greatly feared! Who can stand before you when your anger explodes?

⁸ From heaven you sentenced your enemies; the earth trembled and stood silent before you.

⁹ You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God, and to rescue the oppressed of the earth. Interlude

¹⁰ Human defiance only enhances your glory, for you use it as a weapon.[112]

¹¹ Make vows to the LORD your God, and keep them. Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.

¹² For he breaks the pride of princes, and the kings of the earth fear him.
