¹ God is known in Judah; his name is honored in Israel. ² He has his home in Jerusalem; he lives on Mount Zion. ³ There he broke the arrows of the enemy, their shields and swords, yes, all their weapons. ⁴ How glorious you are, O God! How majestic, as you return from the mountains where you defeated your foes. ⁵ Their brave soldiers have been stripped of all they had and now are sleeping the sleep of death; all their strength and skill was useless. ⁶ When you threatened them, O God of Jacob, the horses and their riders fell dead. ⁷ But you, LORD, are feared by all. No one can stand in your presence when you are angry. ⁸ You made your judgment known from heaven; the world was afraid and kept silent, ⁹ when you rose up to pronounce judgment, to save all the oppressed on earth. ¹⁰ Human anger only results in more praise for you; those who survive the wars will keep your festivals. ¹¹ Give the LORD your God what you promised him; bring gifts to him, all you nearby nations. God makes everyone fear him; ¹² he humbles proud princes and terrifies great kings.
