1 You, our God,

are famous in Judah

and honored in Israel.

2 Your home is on Mount Zion,

the city of peace.

3 There you destroyed

fiery arrows, shields, swords,

and all the other weapons.

4 You are more glorious than

the eternal mountains.*

5 Brave warriors were robbed

of what they had taken,

and now they lie dead,

unable to lift an arm.

6 God of Jacob, when you roar,

enemy chariots and horses

drop dead in their tracks.

7 Our God, you are fearsome,

and no one can oppose you

when you are angry.

8 From heaven you announced

your decisions as judge!

And all who live on this earth

were terrified and silent

9 when you took over as judge,

ready to rescue

everyone in need.

10 Even the most angry people

will praise you

when you are furious.*

11 Everyone, make your promises

to the Lord your God

and do what you promise.

The Lord is fearsome,

and all his servants

should bring him gifts.

12 God destroys the courage

of rulers and kings

and makes cowards of them.
