1 Vir die musiekleier; met snaarinstrumente. 'n Psalm van Asaf. 'n Lied.

2 God is bekend in Juda, sy Naam is groot in Israel.

3 Ook het in Salem sy tent verrys en in Sion sy woning.

4 Daar het Hy die blitspyle van die boog verbreek, skild en swaard en oorlog. Sela.

5 Glansryk is U, heerlik van die roofberge af!

6 Geplunder is die sterkes van hart; hulle het hul slaap gesluimer, en geeneen van die dapper manne het hulle hande gevind nie.

7 Deur u dreiging, o God van Jakob, het strydwa en perd saam bedwelmd geraak.

8 U, vreeslik is U, en wie kan voor u aangesig bestaan as u toorn uitgebreek het?

9 Uit die hemel het U 'n oordeel laat hoor; die aarde het gevrees en stil geword,

10 toe God opgestaan het vir die gerig, om al die ootmoediges van die land te verlos. Sela.

11 Want die grimmigheid van die mens moet U loof; met die oorblyfsel van grimmighede gord U Uself.

12 Doen geloftes en betaal die aan die HERE julle God! Laat almal wat rondom Hom is, geskenke bring aan die Vreeslike, [ (Psalms 76:13) wat die trots van die vorste wegsny, vreeslik is vir die konings van die aarde. ]

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a song.

1 In Judah is God known:

His name is great in Israel.

2 In Salem also is his tabernacle,

And his dwelling-place in Zion.

3 There he brake the arrows of the bow;

The shield, and the sword, and the battle. [Selah

4 Glorious art thou and excellent,

From the mountains of prey.

5 The stouthearted are made a spoil,

They have slept their sleep;

And none of the men of might have found their hands.

6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,

Both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared;

And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

8 Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven;

The earth feared, and was still,

9 When God arose to judgment,

To save all the meek of the earth. [Selah

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:

The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.

11 Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God:

Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

12 He will cut off the spirit of princes:

He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
