Psalm 76

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 76 First Line: In Judah God of old was known Lyrics: In Judah God of old was known; His name in Isr'el great; In Salem stood his holy throne, And Zion was his seat. Among the praises of his saints His dwelling there he chose; There he received their just complaints Against their haughty foes. From Zion went his dreadful word, And broke the threat'ning spear, The bow, the arrows, and the sword, And crushed th' Assyrian war. What are the earth's wide kingdoms else But mighty hills of prey? The hill on which Jehovah dwells Is glorious more than they. 'Twas Zion's King that stopped the breath Of captains and their bands; The men of might slept fast in death, And never found their hands. At thy rebuke, O Jacob's God, Both horse and chariot fell: Who knows the terrors of thy rod? Thy vengeance who can tell? What power can stand before thy sight, When once thy wrath appears? When heav'n shines round with dreadful light, The earth lies still and fears. When God in his own sovereign ways Comes down to save th' oppressed, The wrath of man shall work his praise, And he'll restrain the rest. [Vow to the Lord, and tribute bring, Ye princes, fear his frown; His terror shakes the proudest king, And cuts an army down. The thunder of his sharp rebuke Our haughty foes shall feel; For Jacob's God hath not forsook But dwells in Zion still.] Topics: Enemies destroyed; National deliverance; Church destruction of enemies proceeds from thence; Church wrath against enemies proceeds thence; Israel saved from the Assyrians; Vengeance against the enemies of the church

Refrain: Glory! glory, hallelujah! Glory! glory, hallelujah! Glory! glory, hallelujah! Our God is marching on. 2 I have seen him in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps; they have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps; his day is marching on. [Refrain] 3 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; he is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer him! Be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. [Refrain] 4 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, with a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me; as he died to make men holy, let us live to make men free, while God is marching on.

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph

Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 76 First Line: In Judah God is known, his name Lyrics: 1 In Judah God is known: his name Is great in Israel. 2 In Salem also is his tent: In Sion he doth dwell. 3 He arrows of the bow there brake, Shield, sword and battle too. Selah. More bright and wondrous excellent Than mounts of prey art thou. 5 They that are stout of heart are spoil'd, They slept their sleep out-right: And none of them have found their hands That were the men of might. 6 O thou that art of Jacob God, At thy rebuke out-past, The chariot and the horse also To sleep of death are cast. 7 Thou, even thou, art to be fear'd, O who is he therefore, When once thou angry art, that can Thy presence stand before? 8 Thou didst out from the heav'ns above Cause judgment to be heard; The earth in awful silence stood Exceedingly it fear'd. 9 When the great God himself arose His judgment to dispence, Of all the meek once of the earth To be the safe defence. Selah. 10 Assuredly the wrath of man Shall praises to thee gain: And the remainder of their wrath Thou surely shalt restrain. 11 Vow to the Lord your God, and pay All that about him are; And bring ye an oblation To him that is our fear. 12 The spirit that in princes is Asunder cut shall he: Unto the kings on earth that are He shall most dreadful be.

In Judah the Almighty's known

Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 76 Lyrics: 1 In Judah the Almighty's known (Almighty, there, by Wonders shown): His Name in Jacob does excel: 2 His Sanctuary in Salem stands: The Majesty that Heaven commands In Sion condescends to dwell. 3 He brake the Bow and Arrows there, The Shield, the temper'd Sword, and Spear; There slain the mighty Army lay: 4 Whence Sion's Fame thro' Earth is spread, Of greater Glory, greater Dread, than Hills where Robbers lodge their Prey. 5 Their valiant Chiefs, who came for Spoil, Themselves met there a shameful Foil: Securely down to Sleep they lay; But wak'd no more; their stoutest Band Ne'er lifted on resisting Hand 'gainst His that did their Legions slay. 6 When Jacob's God began to frown, Both Horse and Charioteers, o'erthrown, Together slept in endless Night. 7 When Thou, whom Earth and Heav'n revere, Dost once with wrathful Look appear, What mortal Pow'r can stand thy sight? 8 Pronounc'd from Heav'n, Earth hear'd its Doom; Grew hush'd with Fear when Thou didst come, The Meek with Justice to restore. 10 The Wrath of man shall yield Thee Praise: Its last Attempts but serve to raise The Triumphs of Almighty Pow'r. 11 Vow to the Lord; ye Nations, bring Vow'd Presents to th' Eternal King: Thus to His Name due Rev'rence pay, 12 Who proudest Potentates can quell, To earthly Kings more terrible, Than, to their trembling Subjects, they.

Psalm 76: In Judah's land God is well known

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 76 First Line: In Judah's land God is well known Lyrics: 1In Judah’s land God is well known, his name’s in Isr’el great: 2In Salem is his tabernacle, in Sion is his seat. 3There arrows of the bow he brake, the shield, the sword, the war. 4More glorious thou than hills of prey, more excellent art far. 5Those that were stout of heart are spoil’d, they slept their sleep outright; And none of those their hands did find, that were the men of might. 6When thy rebuke, O Jacob’s God, had forth against them past, Their horses and their chariots both were in a dead sleep cast. 7Thou, Lord, ev’n thou art he that should be fear’d; and who is he That may stand up before thy sight, if once thou angry be? 8From heav’n thou judgment caus’d be heard; the earth was still with fear, 9When God to judgment rose, to save all meek on earth that were. 10Surely the very wrath of man unto thy praise redounds: Thou to the remnant of his wrath wilt set restraining bounds. 11Vow to the Lord your God, and pay: all ye that near him be, Bring gifts and presents unto him; for to be fear’d is he. 12By him the sp’rits shall be cut off of those that princes are: Unto the kings that are on earth he fearful doth appear.

Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 76 First Line: To all that now in Jewry dwell Lyrics: 1 To all that now in Jewry dwell, the Lord is clearly known: His Name is great in Israel, a people of his owne. 2 At Salem he his tents hath picht to tarrie there a space: In Sion eke he hath delight to make his dwelling place. 3 And there he brake both shaft and bow, the sword, the speare, and shield: And brake the ray to overthrow in battel on the field. 4 Thou art more worthy honour Lord, more might in thee doth lie, Than in the strongest of the world, that rob on mountaines high. 5 But now the proud are spoil'd through thee and they are faln on sleep: Through men of war no help can be, themselves they could not keep. 6 At thy rebuke, O Jacobs God, when thou didst them reprove: As halfe on sleep their chariots stood, no horseman once did move. 7 For thou art dreadfull, Lord, indeed, what man the courage hath To bide thy sight, and doth not dread when thou art in thy wrath? 8 When thou dost make thy judgements heard from heaven through the ground, Then all the earth full sore afraid, in silence shall be found. 9 And that when thou O God dost stand in judgement for to speak, To save th'afflicted of the land, on earth that are full weak. 10 The fury that in man doth raigne shall tarrie unto thy praise: Hereafter (Lord) do thou restraine their wrath and threats alwaies. l1 Make vows, and pay them to our God ye folk that nigh him be: Bring gifts all ye that dwell abroad, for dreadfull sure is he. 12 For he doth take both life and might from Princes great of birth: And full of terrour is his sight to all the Kings on earth.

Dear Lord, behold our sore distress

[The lion with his dreadful roar Affrights thy feeble sheep: Reveal the glory of thy power, And chain him to the deep. Must we indulge a long despair? Shall our petitions die? Our mournings never reach thine ear, Nor tears affect thine eye?] If thou despise a mortal groan, Yet hear a Savior's blood; An Advocate so near the throne Pleads and prevails with God. He brought the Spirit's powerful sword To slay our deadly foes; Our sins shall die beneath thy word, And hell in vain oppose. How boundless is our Father's grace, In height, and depth, and length! He makes his Son our righteousness, His Spirit is our strength.

That blessed Gospel we are taught

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 76 Lyrics: 1 That blessed Gospel we are taught, Can prove the Saviour's pow'r; The miracles that Jesus wrought, Were never wrought before. 2 A ruler's daughter as we read, A lifeless corpse had lay'n; But Jesus who can raise the dead, Rais'd her to life again. 3 Princes and rulers of this earth, Who raise their honours high; Like others of the meanest birth, They all are born to die. 4 These things are scarcely ever thought, Or ever cause a tear; Until the greatest part are brought, To lie upon the bier. 5 When troubles, sorrows and distress Beset the greatest men; Then they will seek the Saviour's face To be reliev'd again. 6 Distress will make us seek the Lord, If ne'er we did before; And search the counsels of his word, His love, his grace and pow'r. 7 But O, his love to man is great, His gifts are ne'er withheld; He helps each one in ev'ry state, Who to his precepts yield.

In Judah, God's most clearly known

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 76 Lyrics: 1. In Judah's God's most clearly known; In Isr'el, great is his Renown. 2. His sacrcd Tent's in Salem plac'd; And Sion's with his Dwelling grac'd. 3. Thou break'st the Arrow, Bow, and Shield, The Sword, and Battle in the Field. 4. Thy Glory shines with brighter Ray, Excelling far the Mounts of Prey. 5. The stout of Heart are wholly spoil'd; Death, in their Sleep, has them beguil'd; And none of all their braved Bands, Could find the Vigour of their Hands. 6. When Jacob's God, in Anger, frown'd, Chariot, and Horse, in Heap were drown'd. 7. Thou, thou alone, demand'st our Fear; Who can thine angry Presence bear? 8. Thou mad'st, from Heav'n, thy Judgments heard; The Earth stood still, and greatly fear'd. 9. When God, to save the Meek arose, And scatter'd Judgments on his Foes. 10. Man's Wrath shall Praises to Thee gain; The Residue thou shalt restrain. 11. Vow then, and pay, to God, your King; Let all fear him, and Presents bring. 12. From Princes he cuts off their Breath, By an avenging Stroke of Death; He, to the mighty Kings on Earth, Dispenseth Terrors, in his Wrath.

To fancied gods while all the nations bend

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 76 Lyrics: 1 To fancied gods while all the nations bend, Our faithful tribes th' almighty Lord attend; In Judah is his pow'r, his glory known; 2 Salem's his temple, Sion is his throne. 3 'Twas here he broke the sword, the shaft, the spear; And all the deadly implements of war. 4 What bright majestic terror round him shone, When he earth's mighty tyrants tumbled down? 5 Struck by his pow'r, they fell an easy prey; Sunk in eternal deep their eyes, they lay. 6 Vain was the chariot, useless was the steed; Trembled at his rebuke their hearts with dread. 7 And just their fear, for who his wrath can stand? Who dare the thunder of his vengeful hand? 8 Did not, when he, in majesty array'd, Came down, propitious, to his servant's aid? Did not high heav'n the awful sentence hear? Was not th' astonish'd earth struck mute with fear? 10 His punishments, that on oppressors fall, Rejoice the good, the impious soul appall. 11 Ye tribes, that round his sacred temple dwell, Your victims offer, and his praises tell; 12 Vow to your God, who, dreadful in his wrath, Humbles the haughty monarchs of the earth.
