Psal. 76. Notus in Judea.
Ad Præstantem, in Neghinoth. Psalmus Asaphi, Canticum.
1
In Judah God is knowne, his Nameis great in Israel:
2
His Tent in Salem: He the same,that doth in Sion dwell.
3
The burning arrowes, there he brake,shot from the bow-mans hand:
The sword and shield, made field forsake,
and warlike bands dis-band.
4
Much brighter shines thy Glories Crowne,than brightnesse shines by day:
Thine Excellence of more renowne,
than are the Mounts of prey.
5
There, mighty-hearted men lay foil'd,and falling, slept their sleep:
The men of power, of power, found spoil'd,
which none found hands to keep.

6
O God of Jacob, thy reproofe,sent many a daring head:
Chariot and Horse, with thundring hoofe,
to sleep among the dead.
7
Thou, thou art to be fear'd alone,for thy resistlesse might:
And in thy wrath, from then, what one
shall stand before thy sight?
8
From Heaven, to have thy Judgement heard,it was thy dreadfull will;
And at thy thundring voice afeard,
earth trembled, and was still.
9
When God in Judgement rose, to savethe meeke on earth, un-slaine:
Praise of mans rage, thou sure shalt have,
the rest thou shalt restraine.
10
Vow to the Lord your God, and pay,all round about him neere;
Your present in the presence lay,
of Jacobs Fathers Feare.
The spirit of Princes rank-growne pride,
his gathering spirit shall prune:
That is, on earth an awfull guide,
to keep their Kings in tune.
