picture

1 G od is known in Judah. His name is great in Israel.

In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

2 H is holy tent of worship is in Salem. He lives in Zion.

In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

3 T here He broke the burning arrows, the iron covering and the sword, and all the things used for fighting in war.

There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

4 Y ou are shining with greatness, more beautiful than the mountains with many animals.

Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

5 S trong men have been robbed. They sleep their last sleep. Not one of the soldiers can lift his hands.

The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

6 O God of Jacob, both soldier and horse were put in a dead sleep because of Your sharp words.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

7 Y ou alone are to be feared. Who may stand before You when You are angry?

Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

8 Y ou said from heaven who is guilty or not. The earth was afraid and quiet

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

9 w hen God stood up to say who is guilty or not, and to save all the people of the earth who are not proud.

when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

10 F or the anger of man will praise You. And You will keep what is left of anger around You.

Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

11 M ake promises to the Lord your God and keep them. Let all who are around Him bring gifts to Him, Who is to be feared.

Vow, 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 will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
