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

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

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

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

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