1Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph.
1(76-1) For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. (76-2) In Judah is God known; His name is great in Israel.
2I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.
2(76-3) In Salem also is set His tabernacle, and His dwelling-place in Zion.
3In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:
3(76-4) There He broke the fiery shafts of the bow; the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah
4I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.
4(76-5) Glorious art Thou and excellent, coming down from the mountains of prey.
5My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.
5(76-6) The stout-hearted are bereft of sense, they sleep their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.
6(76-7) At Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they are cast into a dead sleep, the riders also and the horses.
7And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.
7(76-8) Thou, even Thou, art terrible; and who may stand in Thy sight when once Thou art angry?
8Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?
8(76-9) Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?
9(76-10) When God arose to judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah
10Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?
10(76-11) Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee; the residue of wrath shalt Thou gird upon Thee.
11And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.
11(76-12) Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God; let all that are round about Him bring presents unto Him that is to be feared;
12I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.
12(76-13) He minisheth the spirit of princes; He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
13And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.
