Psalm 76A: Psalm 76
Neander, 87.87.87 [low C]
| 1. |
1 God the Lord is known in Judah;
Great His name in Israel;
2 His pavilion is in Salem;
His abode on Zion hill.
3 There He broke the bow and arrows,
Bade the sword and shield be still.
|
| 2. |
4 Excellent art Thou and glorious
Coming from the hills of prey.
5 Thou hast spoiled the valiant-hearted;
Wrapt in sleep of death are they.
Mighty men have lost their cunning;
None are ready for the fray.
|
| 3. |
6 Horse and chariot low are lying
In the sleep of death's dark night.
Jacob's God, Thou didst rebuke them;
7 Thou art fearful in Thy might.
When Thine anger once is risen,
Who may stand before Thy sight?
|
| 4. |
8 When from heav'n Thy sentence sounded,
All the earth in fear was still,
9 While to save the meek and lowly
God in judgment wrought His will.
10 Ev'n the wrath of man shall praise Thee;
What remains is kept from ill.
|
| 5. |
11 Make your vows now to Jehovah;
Pay your God what is His own.
All men, bring your gifts before Him;
Fear is due to Him alone;
12 He brings low the pride of princes;
Kings shall tremble at His frown.
