The Bible Psalms Psalm 75

Psalm 75

Ψαλμοί

Psalm 76 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.

1 Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ἐν ὕμνοις· ψαλμὸς τῷ Ἀσάφ, ᾠδὴ πρὸς τὸν Ἀσσύριον.

(76) For the end, amongst the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.

2 ΓΝΩΣΤΟΣ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ὁ Θεός, ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ μέγα τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ.

In the English, this verse is part of verse 1.

3 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν εἰρήνῃ ὁ τόπος αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ κατοικητήριον αὐτοῦ ἐν Σιών·

And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion. (verse 2 in Brenton's English)

4 ἐκεῖ συνέτριψε τὰ κράτη τῶν τόξων, ὅπλον καὶ ρομφαίαν καὶ πόλεμον. (διάψαλμα).

There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Pause. (verse 3 in Brenton's English)

5 φωτίζεις σὺ θαυμαστῶς ἀπὸ ὀρέων αἰωνίων·

You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains. (verse 4 in Brenton's English)

6 ἐταράχθησαν πάντες οἱ ἀσύνετοι τῇ καρδίᾳ, ὕπνωσαν ὕπνον αὐτῶν καὶ οὐχ εὗρον οὐδὲν πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ πλούτου ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν.

All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands. (verse 5 in Brenton's English)

7 ἀπὸ ἐπιτιμήσεώς σου, ὁ Θεὸς Ἰακώβ, ἐνύσταξαν οἱ ἐπιβεβηκότες τοῖς ἵπποις.

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered. (verse 6 in Brenton's English)

8 σὺ φοβερὸς εἶ, καὶ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί σοι; ἀπὸ τότε ἡ ὀργή σου.

You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger? (verse 7 in Brenton's English)

9 ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἠκούτισας κρίσιν, γῆ ἐφοβήθη καὶ ἡσύχασεν

You did cause judgement to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, (verse 8 in Brenton's English)

10 ἐν τῷ ἀναστῆναι εἰς κρίσιν τὸν Θεὸν τοῦ σῶσαι πάντας τοὺς πραεῖς τῆς γῆς. (διάψαλμα).

when God arose to judgement, to save all the meek in heart. Pause. (verse 9 in Brenton's English)

11 ὅτι ἐνθύμιον ἀνθρώπου ἐξομολογήσεταί σοι, καὶ ἐγκατάλειμμα ἐνθυμίου ἑορτάσει σοι.

For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you. (verse 10 in Brenton's English)

12 εὔξασθε καὶ ἀπόδοτε Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν· πάντες οἱ κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ οἴσουσι δῶρα

Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible, (verse 11 in Brenton's English)

13 τῷ φοβερῷ καὶ ἀφαιρουμένῳ πνεύματα ἀρχόντων, φοβερῷ παρὰ τοῖς βασιλεῦσι τῆς γῆς.

and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible amongst the kings of the earth. (verse 12 in Brenton's English)
