A patriarch, an emperor, and an alp

.
For Robert Geiss'  weekly PsalmChallenge, here is Psalm 76.

1. For the leader; with instrumental music. A psalm. Of Asaph. A song.

2. Renowned in Judah is God; in Israel, His name is great;

3. His pavilion was in Shalem; His dwelling place in Zion. 

4. There He shattered the fiery arrows of the bow, the shield and the sword―the war.    Selah.

5. You are resplendent, more majestic than the mountains of prey.

6. The stouthearted were despoiled; they sank into their sleep; and none of the brave men could find their hands.

7. From Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse lay stunned.

8. You―You are awesome! Who can withstand You? Your rage is from antiquity.

9. From heaven You pronounced legal ruling; the earth was quieted with awe

10. at the rising of God to judgment, to save all the lowly of the earth.  Selah.

11. Indeed, human wrath shall acknowledge You, and the last remnants of wrath You shall gird about You.

12 Make and fulfill vows to the LORD your God; all those around Him shall bear tribute to the Awesome One.

13. He breaks the spirit of princes; He is awesome to the kings of the earth.

Translation by Rabbi Benjamin Segal . He speaks of today's psalm as "Pax Jerusalem."
