¹ To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. IN JUDAH God is known and renowned; His name is highly praised and is great in Israel. ² In Salem also is His tabernacle, and His dwelling place is in Zion. ³ There He broke the bow's flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah ! ⁴ Glorious and excellent are You from the mountains of prey . ⁵ The stouthearted are stripped of their spoil, they have slept the sleep ; and none of the men of might could raise their hands. ⁶ At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep . ⁷ You, even You, are to be feared ! Who may stand in Your presence when once Your anger is roused? ⁸ You caused sentence to be heard from heaven; the earth feared and was still-- ⁹ When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek and oppressed of the earth. Selah ! ¹⁰ Surely the wrath of man shall praise You; the remainder of wrath shall You restrain and gird and arm Yourself with it. ¹¹ Vow and pay to the Lord your God; let all who are round about Him bring presents to Him Who ought to be feared. ¹² He will cut off the spirit of princes; He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
