1 ¶ In Judah is God known; his name is great in Israel.
2 I n Salem also is his tabernacle and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 T here he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the war. Selah.
4 T hou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 T he stouthearted are spoiled; they have slept their sleep; and nothing was found in the hands of the men of might.
6 A t thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 ¶ Thou, even thou, art to be feared, and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8 F rom the heavens thou didst cause judgment to be heard; the earth feared and was still,
9 w hen thou didst arise unto judgment, O God, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
10 S urely the wrath of man shall cause praise to come unto thee; the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
11 V ow and pay unto the LORD your God; let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12 H e shall cut off the spirit of princes; he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
