Psalms 76
A victory hymn rooted in place: God is known in Judah, his tabernacle in Salem, his dwelling in Zion (vv. 1-2). There he shattered "the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword" (v. 3). Watch how the battlefield falls silent. Chariot and horse drop into a dead sleep at his rebuke (v. 6); when God rises to judgment, the earth itself "feared, and was silent" (v. 8).

- 2
His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.
- 3
There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.
- 4
Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.
- 5
Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.
- 6
At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
- 7
You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
- 8
You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,
- 9
when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.
- 10
Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.
- 11
Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.
- 12
He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

Al Músico principal: sobre Neginoth: Salmo de Asaph: Canción. DIOS es conocido en Judá: en Israel es grande su nombre.
- 2
Y en Salem está su tabernáculo, y su habitación en Sión.
- 3
Allí quebró las saetas del arco, el escudo, y la espada, y tren de guerra. (Selah.)
- 4
Ilustre eres tú; fuerte, más que los montes de caza.
- 5
Los fuertes de corazón fueron despojados, durmieron su sueño; y nada hallaron en sus manos todos los varones fuertes.

A tu reprensión, oh Dios de Jacob, el carro y el caballo fueron entorpecidos.
- 7
Tú, terrible eres tú: ¿y quién parará delante de ti, en comenzando tu ira?
- 8
Desde los cielos hiciste oir juicio; la tierra tuvo temor y quedó suspensa,
- 9
Cuando te levantaste, oh Dios, al juicio, para salvar á todos los mansos de la tierra. (Selah.)
- 10
Ciertamente la ira del hombre te acarreará alabanza: tú reprimirás el resto de las iras.
- 11
Prometed, y pagad á Jehová vuestro Dios: todos los que están alrededor de él, traigan presentes al Terrible.
- 12
Cortará él el espíritu de los príncipes: terrible es á los reyes de la tierra.
When the warrior God needs no army
The plundered valiant men and stilled war-horses (vv. 5-6) show a victory won without Israel lifting a weapon — the weapons broken belong to the attackers. Power flows from Zion outward, not from human force.
The startling claim of verse 10 — "the wrath of man praises you" — folds even hostility into God's purpose. The psalm closes urging vows be made and kept, since this is the God "feared by the kings of the earth" (v. 12).
