[¶0] To the Chief Musician on Neginoth. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song

[¶1] 1 Known in Judah is God; In Israel great is his name.

[¶2] 2 And in Salem was his tabernacle, And his dwelling-place in Zion.

[¶3] 3 There he broke the arrows of the bow, The shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

[¶4] 4 More glorious, more terrible art thou Than the mountains of prey.

[¶5] 5 Spoiled were the stout in heart, They slept their sleep: And none of the men of might have found their hands.

[¶6] 6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob! Cast into a deep sleep were the chariot and the horse.

[¶7] 7 Thou art terrible [even] thou; And who shall stand before thy face when thou art angry?

[¶8] 8 From the heavens thou hast made judgment to be heard: The earth was afraid and was still,

[¶9] 9 When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

[¶10] 10 Surely the wrath of men shall praise thee, The remainder of wrath thou wilt restrain.

[¶11] 11 Vow and pay to Jehovah your God: Let all who are round about him bring a present to the terrible one.

[¶12] 12 He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
