1 For the leader. With string music. A psalm of Asaf. A song:
2 In Y’hudah God is known;
his name is great in Isra’el.
3 His tent is in Shalem,
his place is in Tziyon.
4 There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.(Selah)
5 You are glorious, majestic,
more so than mountains of prey.
6 The bravest have been stripped of their spoil
and now are sleeping their final sleep;
not one of these courageous men
finds strength to raise his hands.
7 At your rebuke, God of Ya‘akov,
riders and horses lie stunned.
8 You are fearsome! When once you are angry,
who can stand in your presence?
9 You pronounce sentence from heaven;
the earth grows silent with fear
10 when God arises to judge,
to save all the humble of the earth.(Selah)
11 Human wrath serves only to praise you;
what remains of this wrath you wear as an ornament.
12 Make vows toAdonaiyour God, and keep them;
all who are around him must bring presents to the one who should be feared.
13 He curbs the spirit of princes;
he is fearsome to the kings of the earth.
