NEW JERUSALEMDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [For the choirmaster For strings Psalm Of Asaph Song] God is acknowledged in Judah, his name isgreat in Israel,1 Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians.
2 his tent is pitched in Salem, his dwel ing is in Zion;2 In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.
3 there he has broken the lightning-flashes of the bow, shield and sword and war.Pause3 And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
4 Radiant you are, and renowned for the mountains of booty4 There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.
5 taken from them. Heroes are now sleeping their last sleep, the warriors' arms have failed them;5 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
6 at your reproof, God of Jacob, chariot and horse stand stunned.6 All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.
7 You, you alone, strike terror! Who can hold his ground in your presence when your anger strikes?7 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
8 From heaven your verdicts thunder, the earth is silent with dread8 Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
9 when God takes his stand to give judgement, to save all the humble of the earth.Pause9 Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
10 Human anger serves only to praise you, the survivors of your anger will huddle round you.10 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
11 Make and fulfil your vows to Yahweh your God, let those who surround him make offerings to theAwesome One.11 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
12 He cuts short the breath of princes, strikes terror in earthly kings.12 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
13 even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
