1 | For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a song. In Judah is God known: His name is great in Israel. |
2 | In Salem also is his tabernacle, And his dwelling-place in Zion. |
3 | There he brake the arrows of the bow; The shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah |
4 | Glorious art thou [and] excellent, From the mountains of prey. |
5 | The stouthearted are made a spoil, They have slept their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands. |
6 | At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep. |
7 | Thou, even thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? |
8 | Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still, |
9 | When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. Selah |
10 | Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee. |
11 | Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. |
12 | He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is terrible to the kings of the earth. |
