4 Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey.
More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey.

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

When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. (Selah)
10 For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.
For the fury of man shall praise thee; the remainder of fury wilt thou gird on thyself.
11 Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.
Vow and pay unto Jehovah your God: let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that is to be feared.
12 He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
He cutteth off the spirit of princes; [he] is terrible to the kings of the earth.
