Psalm 76

¶ This Pſalme ſetteth forthe the power of God & care for the defenſe of his people in Ieruſalém, in the deſtruction of the armie of Saneherib: 11 And exhorteth the faithful to be thankful for the ſame.
¶ To him that excelleth on Neginóth. A Pſalme or ſong committed to Aſáph.
1.GOd is knowen in Iudáh: his Name is great in Iſraél.
2.For in Shalém is his Tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zión.
3.There brake he the arrowes of the bowe, the ſhield and the ſworde and the battel. Sélah.
4.Thou art more bright and puiſſant, then the mountaines of pray.
5.The ſtoute harted are ſpoiled: they haue ſlept their ſlepe, & all the men of ſtrength haue not founde their hands.
6.At thy rebuke, ô God of Iaakób, bothe the chariot and horſe are caſt a ſlepe.
7.Thou, euen thou art to be feared: and who ſhal ſtand in thy ſight, when thou art angrie!
8.Thou dideſt cauſe thy iudgement to be heard from heauen: therefore the earth feared and was ſtil,
9.When thou, ô God, aroſe to iudgement, to helpe all the meke of the earth. Sélah.
10.Surely the rage of man ſhal turne to thy praiſe: the remnant of the rage ſhalt thou reſtraine.
11.Vowe & performe vnto the Lord your God, all ye that be rounde about him: let thẽ bring preſents vnto him that oght to be feared.
12.He ſhal cut of the ſpirit of princes: he is terrible to the Kings of the earth.
