1 1 1 For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.
1 In Judah God is known; 1 his name is great in Israel.
2 His tent is in Salem, 2 his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he broke the flashing arrows, 3 the shields and the swords, the weapons of war. Selah
4 You are resplendent with light, 4 more majestic than mountains rich with game.
5 Valiant men lie plundered, 5 they sleep their last sleep; 5 not one of the warriors 5 can lift his hands.
6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, 6 both horse and chariot lie still.
7 You alone are to be feared. 7 Who can stand before you when you are angry?
8 From heaven you pronounced judgment, 8 and the land feared and was quiet—
9 when you, O God, rose up to judge, 9 to save all the afflicted of the land.Selah
10 Surely your wrath against men brings you praise, 10 and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.[a]
11 Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them; 11 let all the neighboring lands 11 bring gifts to the One to be feared.
12 He breaks the spirit of rulers; 12 he is feared by the kings of the earth.
