His tent is in Salem,

his dwelling place in Zion.

There he shatters the bow’s flaming arrows,

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

coming down from the mountains of prey.

both chariot and horse lay still.

The earth feared and grew quiet

Psa 76:9

when God rose up to judge

and to save all the lowly of the earth.Selah

Psa 76:10

Even human wrath will praise you;

you will clothe yourself

with the wrath that remains.[fn]

Make and keep your vows

to the LORD your God;

let all who are around him bring tribute

to the awe-inspiring one.[fn]

Psa 76:12

He humbles the spirit of leaders;

he is feared by the kings of the earth.
