Psalm 76 | English Standard Version

Who Can Stand Before You?

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1 In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel.

2 His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.

3 There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

4 Glorious are you, more majestic than the mountains full of prey.

5 The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands.

6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned.

7 But you, you are to be feared! Who can stand before you when once your anger is roused?

8 From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still,

9 when God arose to establish judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant* of wrath you will put on like a belt.

11 Make your vows to the LORD your God and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared,

12 who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.

1 Au chef des chantres. Avec instruments à cordes. Psaume d'Asaph. Cantique.

2 Dieu est connu en Juda, Son nom est grand en Israël.

3 Sa tente est à Salem, Et sa demeure à Sion.

4 C'est là qu'il a brisé les flèches, Le bouclier, l'épée et les armes de guerre. -Pause.

5 Tu es plus majestueux, plus puissant Que les montagnes des ravisseurs.

6 Ils ont été dépouillés, ces héros pleins de courage, Ils se sont endormis de leur dernier sommeil; Ils n'ont pas su se défendre, tous ces vaillants hommes.

7 A ta menace, Dieu de Jacob! Ils se sont endormis, cavaliers et chevaux.

8 Tu es redoutable, ô toi! Qui peut te résister, quand ta colère éclate?

9 Du haut des cieux tu as proclamé la sentence; La terre effrayée s'est tenue tranquille,

10 Lorsque Dieu s'est levé pour faire justice, Pour sauver tous les malheureux de la terre. -Pause.

11 L'homme te célèbre même dans sa fureur, Quand tu te revêts de tout ton courroux.

12 Faites des voeux à l'Éternel, votre Dieu, et accomplissez-les! Que tous ceux qui l'environnent apportent des dons au Dieu terrible!

13 Il abat l'orgueil des princes, Il est redoutable aux rois de la terre.
