1 To the chief musician. For stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song of Praise. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.
2 And His abode is in Salem; and His dwelling-place in Zion.
3 There He broke the fiery arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 You are glorious, more excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stouthearted have been stripped; they slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 By Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the horse and chariot have sunk into a sleep.
7 You, even You, are terrifying; and who can stand before You when You are angry?
8 You have caused judgment to be heard from Heaven; the earth feared and was stilled;
9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
10 For the wrath of man thank You; You encircle Yourself with the wrath left over.
11 Vow and pay to Jehovah your God; let all that are around Him bring presents to the Fearful One.
12 He shall cut off the spirit in rulers; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
