1{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph: a Song.} In Judah is God known, his name is great in Israel;

2And in Salem is his tent, and his dwelling-place in Zion.

3There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. Selah.

4More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey.

5The stout-hearted are made a spoil, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.

6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

7Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?

8Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from the heavens; the earth feared, and was still,

9When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

10For the fury of man shall praise thee; the remainder of fury wilt thou gird on thyself.

11Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that is to be feared.

12He cutteth off the spirit of princes; he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
