The Victorious Power of the God of Jacob

For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.


[1]	IN Judah is God known: His name is great in Israel.
[2]	In Salem also is his tabernacle, 1 And his dwelling-place 2 in Zion.
[3]	There he brake the arrows 3 of the bow; The shield, and the sword, and the battle. [Selah
[4]	Glorious art thou and excellent, From 4 the mountains of prey.
[5]	The stouthearted are made a spoil, They have slept their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands.
[6]	At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
[7]	Thou, even thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
[8]	Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,
[9]	When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. [Selah
[10]	Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The residue of wrath shalt thou gird 5 upon thee.
[11]	Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
[12]	He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
