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 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

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

3 There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

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

4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

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

5 The stout hearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

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

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

7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

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

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

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

9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)

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

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

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

11 Vow, and pay to the LORD your God: let all that are about him bring presents to him that ought to be feared.

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 shall cut 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.
