Psalm 76

The Message Bible MSG

1 God is well-known in Judah; in Israel, he's a household name.

2 He keeps a house in Salem, his own suite of rooms in Zion.

3 That's where, using arrows for kindling, he made a bonfire of weapons of war.

4 Oh, how bright you shine! Outshining their huge piles of loot!

5 The warriors were plundered and left there impotent. And now there's nothing to them, nothing to show for their swagger and threats.

6 Your sudden roar, God of Jacob, knocked the wind out of horse and rider.

7 Fierce you are, and fearsome! Who can stand up to your rising anger?

8 From heaven you thunder judgment; earth falls to her knees and holds her breath.

9 God stands tall and makes things right, he saves all the wretched on earth.

10 Instead of smoldering rage - God-praise! All that sputtering rage - now a garland for God!

11 Do for God what you said you'd do - he is, after all, your God. Let everyone in town bring offerings to the One Who Watches our every move.

12 Nobody gets by with anything, no one plays fast and loose with him.

New Living Translation NLT

1 God is honored in Judah; his name is great in Israel.

2 Jerusalem is where he lives; Mount Zion is his home.

3 There he has broken the fiery arrows of the enemy, the shields and swords and weapons of war. Interlude

4 You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains.

5 Our boldest enemies have been plundered. They lie before us in the sleep of death. No warrior could lift a hand against us.

6 At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob, their horses and chariots lay still.

7 No wonder you are greatly feared! Who can stand before you when your anger explodes?

8 From heaven you sentenced your enemies; the earth trembled and stood silent before you.

9 You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God, and to rescue the oppressed of the earth. Interlude

10 Human defiance only enhances your glory, for you use it as a weapon.

11 Make vows to the LORD your God, and keep them. Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.

12 For he breaks the pride of princes, and the kings of the earth fear him.
