1

IN Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

2

In 3Salem also is his 4tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

3

5There brake he the 6arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. 7Selah.

4

Thou art more glorious and excellent than the 8mountains of prey.

5

The 9stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their 10sleep: and 11none of the men of might have found their hands.

6

At thy 12rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the 13chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

7

Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight 14when once thou art angry?

8

Thou 15didst cause judgment to be heard from 16heaven; 17the earth feared, and was still,

9

When God arose to judgment, to save all the 18meek of the earth. Selah.

10

Surely the wrath of man shall 19praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou 20restrain.

11

21Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be 22round about him bring 23presents unto him 24that ought to be feared.

12

He shall 25cut off the spirit of 26princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
