¹ God is known in Judah;
    his name is honored in Israel.
² He has his home in Jerusalem;
    he lives on Mount Zion.
³ There he broke the arrows of the enemy,
    their shields and swords, yes, all their weapons.

⁴ How glorious you are, O God!
    How majestic, as you return from the mountains
    where you defeated your foes.
⁵ Their brave soldiers have been stripped of all they had
    and now are sleeping the sleep of death;
    all their strength and skill was useless.
⁶ When you threatened them, O God of Jacob,
    the horses and their riders fell dead.

⁷ But you, Lord, are feared by all.
    No one can stand in your presence
    when you are angry.
⁸ You made your judgment known from heaven;
    the world was afraid and kept silent,
⁹ when you rose up to pronounce judgment,
    to save all the oppressed on earth.

¹⁰ Human anger only results in more praise for you;
    those who survive the wars will keep your festivals.^[b]

¹¹ Give the Lord your God what you promised him;
    bring gifts to him, all you nearby nations.
God makes everyone fear him;
¹²     he humbles proud princes
    and terrifies great kings.
