1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a song. In Judah is God known: His name is great in Israel.

2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, And his dwelling-place in Zion.

3 There he broke the arrows of the bow; The shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

4 Glorious are you [and] excellent, From the everlasting mountains.

5 The stouthearted are made a spoil, They have slept their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands.

6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.

7 You, even you, are to be awed; And who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?

8 You caused sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,

9 When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

10 Surely the wrath of man will praise you: The residue of wrath you will gird on you.

11 Vow, and pay to Yahweh your{+} God: Let all who are round about him bring presents to him who ought to be feared.

12 He will cut off the spirit of leaders: He is awesome to the kings of the earth.
