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.
