¹ You, our God,
are famous in Judah
    and honored in Israel.
² Your home is on Mount Zion
    in the city of peace.
³ There you destroyed
fiery arrows, shields, swords,
    and all the other weapons.

⁴ You are more glorious than
    the eternal mountains.^[a]
5 Brave warriors were robbed
    of what they had taken,
    and now they lie dead,
    unable to lift an arm.
⁶ God of Jacob, when you roar,
    enemy chariots and horses
    drop dead in their tracks.

⁷ Our God, you are fearsome,
    and no one can oppose you
    when you are angry.
⁸ From heaven you announced
    your decisions as judge!
And all who live on this earth
    were terrified and silent
⁹     when you took over as judge,
    ready to rescue
    everyone in need.
¹⁰ Even the most angry people
will praise you
    when you are furious.^[b]

¹¹ Everyone, make your promises
to the Lord your God
    and do what you promise.
The Lord is fearsome,
    and all of his servants
    should bring him gifts.
¹² God destroys the courage
of rulers and kings
    and makes cowards of them.
