Holman Christian Standard Bible | International Standard Version |
1For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel. | 1God is known in Judah; in Israel his reputation is great. |
2His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion. | 2His abode is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion. |
3There He shatters the bow's flaming arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah | 3There he shattered sharp arrows, shields, swords, and weapons of war. Interlude |
4You are resplendent and majestic coming down from the mountains of prey. | 4You are enveloped by light; more majestic than mountains filled with game. |
5The brave-hearted have been plundered; they have slipped into their final sleep. None of the warriors was able to lift a hand. | 5Brave men were plundered while they slumbered in their sleep. All the men of the army were immobilized. |
6At Your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse lay still. | 6At the sound of your battle cry, God of Jacob, both horse and chariot rider fell into deep sleep. |
7And You--You are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You? | 7You are awesome! who can stand in your presence when you're angry? |
8From heaven You pronounced judgment. The earth feared and grew quiet | 8From heaven you declared judgment. The earth stands in awe and is quiet |
9when God rose up to judge and to save all the lowly of the earth. Selah | 9when God arose to execute justice and to deliver all the afflicted of the earth. Interlude |
10Even human wrath will praise You; You will clothe Yourself with their remaining wrath. | 10Even human anger praises you; you will wear the survivors of your wrath as an ornament. |
11Make and keep your vows to the LORD your God; let all who are around Him bring tribute to the awe-inspiring One. | 11Let everyone who surrounds the LORD your God make a vow and fulfill it to the Awesome One. |
12He humbles the spirit of leaders; He is feared by the kings of the earth. | 12He will humble the arrogant commanders-in-chief, instilling fear among the kings of the earth. |
