🎶 Lyrics (Based on Psalm 76:1–12)

Verse 1 (Psalm 76:1–3)

God is known in Judah’s land,

His praise is great in Israel’s hand.

In Zion’s hill, He broke the bow,

The sword and shield laid low below.

Chorus (Psalm 76:7–9)

You alone are feared, O Lord,

Who can stand before Your sword?

From heaven You gave judgment clear,

To save the meek, draw nations near.

Verse 2 (Psalm 76:4–6)

More glorious than the hills of might,

You struck the proud in darkest night.

The brave lay still, their hands forgot,

For none could rise — the battle’s stopped.

Bridge (Psalm 76:10–11)

Surely man’s wrath will praise Your name,

The rest restrained — Your power remains.

We vow to You what we will keep,

You are the Shepherd, we are Your sheep.

Final Chorus (Psalm 76:12)

You bring low the kings of pride,

You rise in judgment, arms open wide.

Let every heart bow down and say:

“You alone are God — to You we pray!”
