1 (For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.) God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

2 And His tabernacle is in Salem; His dwelling place also is in Zion.

3 There He broke the flaming arrows, The shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.

4 Thou art resplendent, More majestic than the mountains of prey.

5 The stouthearted were plundered; They sank into sleep; And none of the warriors could use his hands.

6 At Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep.

7 Thou, even Thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in Thy presence 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 humble of the earth. Selah.

10 For the wrath of man shall praise Thee; With a remnant of wrath Thou shalt gird Thyself.

11 Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill [them]; Let all who are around Him bring gifts to Him who is to be feared.

12 He will cut off the spirit of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
