Psalms

For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song.

1In Judah, God is known.His name is great in Israel.

2His tabernacle is also in Salem.His dwelling place in Zion.

3There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow,the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.

4Glorious are you, and excellent,more than mountains of game.

5Valiant men lie plundered,they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

6At your rebuke, God of Jacob,both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

7You, even you, are to be feared.Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

8You pronounced judgment from heaven.The earth feared, and was silent,

9when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.

10Surely the wrath of man praises you.The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

11Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfill them!Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

12He will cut off the spirit of princes.He is feared by the kings of the earth.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song.

1God is known in Judah;His name is great in Israel.

2His tent is in Salem,His dwelling place in Zion.

3There He shattered the flaming arrows,the shield and sword and weapons of war.Selah

4You are resplendent with light,more majestic than mountains filled with game.

5The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep.No men of might could lift a hand.

6At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,both horse and rider lie stunned.

7You alone are to be feared.When You are angry, who can stand before You?

8From heaven You pronounced judgment,and the earth feared and was still

9when God rose up to judge,to save all the lowly of the earth.Selah

10Even the wrath of man shall praise You;with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.

11Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God;let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

12He breaks the spirits of princes;He is feared by the kings of the earth.
