His tent is in Salem; his dwelling place is in Zion.
3 Là Il a brisé les foudres de l'arc, le bouclier, et l'épée, et les armes de guerre. (Pause)

Surely your angry judgment against humanity will bring you praise; you gird yourself with what is left of your anger.
11 Faites et acquittez des vœux à l'Éternel, votre Dieu! Que de tous Ses alentours on apporte des dons au Dieu terrible!
