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.
