1 | To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- A Psalm of Asaph. -- A Song. In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name [is] great. |
2 | And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion. |
3 | There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. Selah. |
4 | Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey. |
5 | Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands. |
6 | From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep. |
7 | Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry! |
8 | From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still, |
9 | In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. Selah. |
10 | For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on. |
11 | Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One. |
12 | He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth! |
