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. ]
1 To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song.
2 \76:1\In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,
3 \76:2\In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.
4 \76:3\There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah.)
5 \76:4\You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.
6 \76:5\Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.
7 \76:6\At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.
8 \76:7\You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?
9 \76:8\From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,
10 \76:9\When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah.)
11 \76:10\The ... will give you praise; the rest of ...
12 \76:11\Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.
13 \76:12\He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
