Psalm LXXVI

In Judah God is known: his name
In [his own] Israel is great;
In Salem is his Tabernacle:
[In] Sion [is] his dwelling seat.

There he the hurtful arrows brake;
The shield, the sword, and [bloody] war.

More glorious than the hills of prey,
And excellent [art thou] by far.

The stout and valiant men are spoil'd,
[And] by [the] sleep of death they fall;
No men of might could find their hands
[In need] to help themselves withal.

When thy rebuke, O Jacob's God,
Had once against them [spoke and] past,
With them both Horse and Chariot were
Into a [fatal] dead sleep cast.

Thou, and thou only, glorious God,
Art he that all should [greatly] fear;
And who can stand before thy face,
If [once but] angry thou appear?

Thou didst make Judgment heard from heaven,
The [subject] earth was still with fear.

When God arose to judge and save
All those that humble [and meek] were.

The furious wrath of cruel men
Shall [surely] to thy praise redound;
And the remainder of their wrath
Thou wilt restrain, and [strictly] bound.

Vow to the Lord your God, and pay
[All] you that are [un-] to him near;
And bring your Presents unto him
That ought to be your [chiefest] fear.

The greatest Princes spirits all
[Quickly] by him cut off shall be;
And to the Kings that Rule on earth,
[At last] most terrible is he.
