Text of Psalm 76
1God is renowned in Judah; His name is great in all the earth.
2His grandeur towers above the heavens, inspiring awe among the nations.
3When He rises in power, the earth trembles; His voice strikes terror into our enemies.
4His throne is established in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.
5No weapon formed against Him can withstand His might; His judgments are just and unshakeable.
6In your mighty power, you subdued even the proudest enemies, turning their plans into ruin.
7You, O God, are to be praised; Your deeds are marvelous and glorify Your name.
8You, who shatter the enemy and bring peace, are our refuge in times of trouble.
9When Your anger is kindled, the earth fears and becomes silent in awe.
10But in Your mercy, You grant victory and peace to Your faithful followers.
11Let us trust in You always, for You are our shield and our salvation.
12Sing praises to the Lord our God, for His greatness is beyond compare.
