⁴ God, you are glorious coming back
    from the hills where you defeated your enemies.
⁵ They thought they were strong, but now they lie dead in the fields.
    Their bodies are stripped of all they owned.
    They could not defend themselves.^[b]
6 The God of Jacob shouted at them,
    and their army of chariots and horses fell dead.
⁷ God, you are awesome!
    No one can stand against you when you are angry.^8-9 You stood as judge and announced your decision.
    You saved the humble people of the land.
From heaven you gave the decision,
    and the whole earth was silent and afraid.<
¹⁰ Even human anger can bring you honor
    when you use it to punish your enemies.^[c]

¹¹ People, you made promises to the Lord your God.
    Now give him what you promised.
People everywhere fear and respect God,
    and they will bring gifts to him.
¹² God defeats great leaders;
    all the kings on earth fear him.
