The Majesty of God in Judgment
To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
1 InJudah Godisknown;
His nameisgreat in Israel.
2 In Salem also is His tabernacle,
And His dwelling place in Zion.
3 There He broke the arrows of the bow,
The shield and sword of battle.
Selah
4 Youaremore glorious and excellent
# Thanthe mountains of prey.
5 The stouthearted were plundered;
# They have sunk into their sleep;
And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands.
6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep.
7 You, Yourself,areto be feared;
# Andwho may stand in Your presence
When once You are angry?
8 You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
# The earth feared and was still,
9 When Godarose to judgment,
To deliver all the oppressed of the earth.
Selah
10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise You;
With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself.
11 Make vows to theLordyour God, and paythem;
# Let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes;
# Heisawesome to the kings of the earth.
