Psalms

Psalm 76:7–11

⁷You alone are to be feared.

When You are angry, who can stand before You?

⁸From heaven You pronounced judgment,

and the earth feared and was still

⁹when God rose up to judge,

to save all the lowly of the earth.

Selah

¹⁰Even the wrath of man shall praise You;

with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.^b

¹¹Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God;

let all the neighboring lands bring tribute

to Him who is to be feared.

b 76:10 Or Surely Your wrath against men brings You praise, and the survivors of Your wrath will be restrained.
