Psalms 76

Berean Standard Bible

Chapter summary

God is known in Judah and His name is great in Israel, with His dwelling place established in Salem and Zion. There, He shattered weapons of war, including flaming arrows, shields, and swords. Valiant men were plundered and put to a deep sleep, unable to lift a hand, while horse and rider lay stunned at the rebuke of the God of Jacob. From heaven, God pronounced judgment, causing the earth to fear and be still as He rose to save the lowly of the earth. Finally, neighboring lands are called to bring tribute to Him, as He breaks the spirits of princes and strikes fear into the kings of the earth.

Words of Jesus in red

¹God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel. ²His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion. ³There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war. Selah ⁴You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game. ⁵The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand. ⁶At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned. ⁷You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You? ⁸From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still ⁹when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth. Selah ¹⁰Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself. ¹¹Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared. ¹²He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
