When God rose up to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

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

For the multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto thee.

Vow and pay, unto Yahweh your God, —Let, all who are round about him, bear along a gift unto him who is to be revered.

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

He cutteth off the spirit of nobles, he is of reverend majesty to the kings of the earth.
