1 To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a psalm of Asaph a song. [is] known In Judah God in Israel [is] great name his.

To the Chief Musician. With Stringed Instruments. A Melody of Asaph, a Song. God is, known in Judah, In Israel, great is his Name;

2 And it was in Salem lair his and den his in Zion.

Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.

3 There he shattered flames of a bow shield and sword and battle (Selah)

There, hath he broken in pieces the arrows of the bow, shield and sword, and battle. (Selah)

4 [are] lighted up You [are] majestic more than mountains of prey.

Enveloped in light, thou, art more majestic than the mountains of prey.

5 They were plundered - [people] mighty of heart they slumbered sleep their and not they found all [the] men of strength hands their.

The valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered their sleep, And none of the men of might have found their hands.

6 From rebuke your O God of Jacob [were] sleeping and chariot and horse.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Stunned are the horsemen.

7 You - [are] to be feared you and who? will he stand before you from then anger your.

As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?

8 From heaven you proclaimed judgment [the] earth it was afraid and it was quiet.

Out of the heavens, didst thou cause judgment to be heard, Earth, feared and was still:

9 When arose for judgment God to save all [the] humble [people] of [the] earth (Selah)

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

10 For [the] anger of humankind it will praise you [the] remainder of anger you will gird on.

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

11 Make vows and pay [them] to Yahweh God your all [those] around him let them bring a gift to the awesome one.

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 humbles [the] spirit of rulers [he is] to be feared by [the] kings of [the] earth.

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