¹ God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel. ² And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion. ³ There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Pause. ⁴ Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains. ⁵ All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands. ⁶ At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.

⁷ Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger? ⁸ Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, ⁹ when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. Pause. ¹⁰ For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to thee: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to thee. ¹¹ Vow, and pay your vows to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, even to him that is terrible, ¹² and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
