God’s Name Is Great in Israel

1Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.

2And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.

3In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

4You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

5All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.

7You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.

8You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,

9when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.

10For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.

11Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,

12even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
