To the Eternal Victor

Psalm 76, Spurrell's Translation

GOD is known in Judah, His name is great in Israel, Yea, His tabernacle is in Jerusalem, And His abiding-place in Zion.

There He shivereth the flying arrows of the bow, The shield, and the sword, with the instruments of warfare. Thou art more gloriously resplendent Than the war trophy upon the mountains of prey. The stout-hearted are spoiled, they have sunk into their sleep: Neither have any of the mighty men recovered power. At Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, They were overcome with sleep, Together with the chariot and the horse. Thou art terrible, even Thou, And who can stand before Thee in time of Thy wrath? Out of heaven Thou didst cause judgment to be pronounced. The earth was afraid, and was silent, When God arose to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth. Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee, The remainder of wrath Thou wilt restrain. Vow ye, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all who are about Him bring forth offerings To Him who ought to be reverenced. He will restrain the spirit of princes; He will be reverenced by the kings of the earth.
