1 [To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.] In Judah is God known, his name is great in Israel;

2 And in Salem is his tent, and his dwelling-place in Zion.

3 There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. Selah.

4 More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey.

5 The stout-hearted 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 dead sleep.

7 Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?

8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from the heavens; the earth feared, and was still,

9 When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

10 For the fury of man shall praise thee; the remainder of fury wilt thou gird on thyself.

11 Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that is to be feared.

12 He cutteth off the spirit of princes; {he} is terrible to the kings of the earth.
