¹ To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. In Judah God is known, his name is great in Israel.² His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.³ There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. [Selah]⁴ Glorious art thou, more majestic than the everlasting mountains.⁵ The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands.⁶ At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned.

⁷ But thou, terrible art thou! Who can stand before thee when once thy anger is roused?⁸ From the heavens thou didst utter judgment; the earth feared and was still,⁹ when God arose to establish judgment to save all the oppressed of the earth. [Selah]¹⁰ Surely the wrath of men shall praise thee; the residue of wrath thou wilt gird upon thee.¹¹ Make your vows to the LORD your God, and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared,¹² who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is terrible to the kings of the earth.
