For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.

¹ In Judah God is known;
his name is great in Israel.

² His tent is in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.

³ There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.
Selah

⁴ You are resplendent with light,
more majestic than mountains rich with game.

⁵ Valiant men lie plundered,
they sleep their last sleep;
not one of the warriors
can lift his hands.

⁶ At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
both horse and chariot lie still.

⁷ You alone are to be feared.
Who can stand before you when you are angry?

⁸ From heaven you pronounced judgment,
and the land feared and was quiet-

⁹ when you, O God, rose up to judge,
to save all the afflicted of the land.
Selah

¹⁰ Surely your wrath against men brings you praise,
and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.

¹¹ Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them;
let all the neighboring lands
bring gifts to the One to be feared.

¹² He breaks the spirit of rulers;
he is feared by the kings of the earth.
