| 1 For the leader; a psalm with stringed instruments. A song of Asaph. | 1 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. In Judah God is known, his name is great in Israel. |
| 2 Renowned in Judah is God, whose name is great in Israel. | 2 His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion. |
| 3 On Salem is God's tent, a shelter on Zion. | 3 There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. [Selah] |
| 4 There the flashing arrows were shattered, shield, sword, and weapons of war. Selah | 4 Glorious art thou, more majestic than the everlasting mountains. |
| 5 Terrible and awesome are you, stronger than the ancient mountains. | 5 The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands. |
| 6 Despoiled are the bold warriors; they sleep their final sleep; the hands of all the mighty have failed. | 6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned. |
| 7 At your roar, O God of Jacob, chariots and steeds lay still. | 7 But thou, terrible art thou! Who can stand before thee when once thy anger is roused? |
| 8 So terrible and awesome are you; who can stand before you and your great anger? | 8 From the heavens thou didst utter judgment; the earth feared and was still, |
| 9 From the heavens you pronounced sentence; the earth was terrified and reduced to silence, | 9 when God arose to establish judgment to save all the oppressed of the earth. [Selah] |
| 10 When you arose, O God, for judgment to deliver the afflicted of the land. Selah | 10 Surely the wrath of men shall praise thee; the residue of wrath thou wilt gird upon thee. |
| 11 Even wrathful Edom praises you; the remnant of Hamath keeps your feast. | 11 Make your vows to the LORD your God, and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared, |
| 12 Make and keep vows to the LORD your God. May all present bring gifts to this awesome God, | 12 who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is terrible to the kings of the earth. |
| 13 Who checks the pride of princes, inspires awe among the kings of earth. | |
