Psalms 76 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

To the chief Musician on Neginoth,

1. In Judah's land God is well known,his name's in Isr'el great:

2. In Salem is his tabernacle,in Sion is his seat.

3. There arrows of the bow he brake,the shield, the sword, the war.

4. More glorious thou than hills of prey,more excellent art far.

5. Those that were stout of heart are spoil'd,they slept their sleep outright;And none of those their hands did find,that were the men of might.

6. When thy rebuke, O Jacob's God,had forth against them past,Their horses and their chariots bothwere in a dead sleep cast.

7. Thou, Lord, ev'n thou art he that shouldbe fear'd; and who is heThat may stand up before thy sight,if once thou angry be?

8. From heav'n thou judgment caus'd be heard;the earth was still with fear,

9. When God to judgment rose, to saveall meek on earth that were.

10. Surely the very wrath of manunto thy praise redounds:Thou to the remnant of his wrathwilt set restraining bounds.

11. Vow to the Lord your God,and pay: all ye that near him be,Bring gifts and presents unto him;for to be fear'd is he.

12. By him the sp'rits shall be cut offof those that princes are:Unto the kings that are on earthhe fearful doth appear.
