[1] To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A
Song. [2] In Judah God is known, his name is great in Israel. [3] His abode
has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion. [4] There he
broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.
[Selah] [5] Glorious art thou, more majestic than the everlasting
mountains. [6] The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank
into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands. [7] At thy
rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned. [8] But thou,
terrible art thou! Who can stand before thee when once thy anger is roused?
[9] From the heavens thou didst utter judgment; the earth feared and was
still, [10] when God arose to establish judgment to save all the oppressed
of the earth. [Selah] [11] Surely the wrath of men shall praise thee; the
residue of wrath thou wilt gird upon thee. [12] Make your vows to the LORD
your God, and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to
be feared, [ (Psalms 76:13) who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is
terrible to the kings of the earth. ]
