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

• ¹In Judah, God is known.
• His name is great in Israel.

• ²His tabernacle is also in Salem;
• His dwelling place in Zion.

• ³There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow,
• the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war.

• Selah.

• ⁴Glorious are you, and excellent,
• more than mountains of game.

• ⁵Valiant men lie plundered,
• they have slept their last sleep.
• None of the men of war can lift their hands.

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

• ⁷You, even you, are to be feared.
• Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

• ⁸You pronounced judgment from heaven.
• The earth feared, and was silent,
• ⁹when God arose to judgment,
• to save all the afflicted ones of the earth.

• Selah.

• ¹⁰Surely the wrath of man praises you.
• The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

• ¹¹Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them!
• Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

• ¹²He will cut off the spirit of princes.
• He is feared by the kings of the earth.
