Psalms 75
1 For the end, among the Hymns, a
Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian.
2 God is known in Judea; his name is
great in Israel. 3 And his place has
been in
aOr, Salem, see the Hebrew.peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.
4 There he broke the power of the
bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Pause.
5 Thou dost wonderfully shine forth
from the everlasting mountains. 6 All
the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their
sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.
7 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the
riders on horses slumbered. 8 Thou art
terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger?
9 Thou didst cause judgment to be
heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
10 when God arose to judgment, to
save all the meek in heart. Pause.
11 For the inward thought of man
shall give thanks to thee: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a
feast to thee. 12 Vow, and pay
your vows to the Lord our God; all that are round
about him shall bring gifts, even to him that is
terrible, 13 and that takes away the
spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
