(KJV) Psalm 761

<< Psalm 75 Psalm 77 >>

God’s Name Is Great in Israel

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm2 [or] Song of Asaph3.

[1] In Judah4 [is] God known: his5 name [is] great in Israel. [2] In Salem6 also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling7 place in Zion. [3] There8 brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah. [4] Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the mountains9 of prey. [5] The stouthearted10 are spoiled, they11 have slept their sleep: and12 none of the men of might have found their hands. [6] At thy13 rebuke, O God of Jacob, both14 the chariot and horse are cast into a dead15 sleep. [7] Thou, [even] thou16, [art] to be feared: and who17 may stand in thy sight when18 once thou art angry? [8] Thou didst19 cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still20, [9] When21 God arose to judgment, to save22 all the meek of the earth. Selah. [10] Surely23 the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder24 of wrath shalt thou restrain. [11] Vow25, and pay unto the Lord your God: let all26 that be round about him bring presents unto him27 that ought to be feared. [12] He shall28 cut off the spirit of princes: [he is] terrible29 to the kings of the earth.
