Who Can Stand Before You?

PSALM 76 [†] In Judah God is  e known;

his name is great in Israel.

2 His  f abode has been established in  g Salem,

his  h dwelling place in Zion.

3[^][†] There he  i broke the flashing arrows,

the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

4 Glorious are you, more majestic

 j than the mountains full of  k prey.

5  l The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;

 m they sank into sleep;

all the men of war

were unable to use their hands.

6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

both  n rider and horse lay stunned.

7  o But you, you are to be feared!

Who can  p stand before you

when once your anger is roused?

8 From the heavens you uttered judgment;

 q the earth feared and was still,

9[^] when God  r arose to establish judgment,

to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

10[†] Surely  s the wrath of man shall praise you;

the remnant [1] of wrath you will put on like a belt.

11  t Make your vows to the LORD your God and perform them;

let all around him  u bring gifts

to him who  v is to be feared,

12 who  w cuts off the spirit of princes,

who  x is to be feared by the kings of the earth.

To the choirmaster: according to  y Jeduthun. A Psalm of  z Asaph.
