1. In Judah God is known;

1. in Israel His name is great.

2. In Salem is His abode,

2. and His dwelling place in Zion.

3. There He broke the fiery arrows of the bow,

3. the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

4. You are more glorious and excellent

4. than the mountains of prey.

5. The strong of heart have been plundered;

5. they have been put to sleep;

5. and none of the mighty men

5. could use their hands.

6. At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

6. both the chariot and horse lay stunned.

7. You, even You, are to be feared;

7. and who may stand in Your sight from the moment of Your anger?

8. From the heavens You gave their judgment,

8. and the earth feared and was silent,

9. when God arose to judgment,

9. to save all the meek of the earth. Selah

10. Surely the wrath of people shall bring You praise;

10. the remainder of wrath You shall put on.

11. Make your vows to the Lord your God, and fulfill them;

11. let all who surround Him

11. bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

12. He reduces the spirit of princes,

12. and is feared among the kings of the earth.
