For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song.

1 In Judah, God is known.

His name is great in Israel.

2 His tabernacle is also in Salem.

His dwelling place in Zion.

3 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow,

the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.

4 Glorious are you, and excellent,

more than mountains of game.

5 Valiant men lie plundered,

they have slept their last sleep.

None of the men of war can lift their hands.

6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob,

both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

7 You, even you, are to be feared.

Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

8 You pronounced judgment from heaven.

The earth feared, and was silent,

9 when God arose to judgment,

to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.

10 Surely the wrath of man praises you.

The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

11 Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them!

Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

12 He will cut off the spirit of princes.

He is feared by the kings of the earth.

1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- A Psalm of Asaph. -- A Song. In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name [is] great.

2 And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.

3 There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. Selah.

4 Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey.

5 Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.

6 From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.

7 Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!

8 From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,

9 In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. Selah.

10 For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.

11 Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.

12 He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
