The Psalms

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thou, even Thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in Thy presence when once Thou art angry?

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,

When God arose to judgment, To save all the humble of the earth.[Selah].

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

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.

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