The Seventy-Sixth Psalm
Notus in Judaea.
IN Judah is God known; * his Name is great in Israel.
At Salem is his tabernacle, * and his dwelling in Sion.
There brake he the arrows of the bow, * the shield, the sword, and the battle.
Thou art glorious in might, * when thou comest from the hills of the robbers.
The proud are robbed, they have slept their sleep; * and all the men whose hands were mighty have found nothing.
At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, * both the chariot and horse are fallen.
Thou, even thou art to be feared; * and who may stand in thy sight when thou art angry?
Thou didst cause thy judgment to be heard from heaven; * the earth trembled, and was still,
When God arose to judgment, * and to help all the meek upon earth.
The fierceness of man shall turn to thy praise; * and the fierceness of them shalt thou refrain.
Promise unto the LORD your God, and keep it, all ye that are round about him; * bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
He shall refrain the spirit of princes, * and is wonderful among the kings of the earth.
