| To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. |
1 | 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 brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah. |
4 | Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. |
5 | The stouthearted are spoiled, 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 the chariot and horse are cast into a dead 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 judgment 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 remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. |
11 | Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. |
12 | He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth. |
