Psalms

1 *For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

2 His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.

3 There He shatters the bow's flaming arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

4 You are resplendent and majestic *coming down from the mountains of prey.

5 The brave-hearted have been plundered; they have slipped into their *final sleep. None of the warriors was able to lift a hand.

6 At Your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse lay still.

7 And You-- You are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

8 From heaven You pronounced judgment. The earth feared and grew quiet

9 when God rose up to judge and to save all the lowly of the earth. Selah

10 Even human wrath will praise You; You will clothe Yourself with their remaining wrath.

11 Make and keep your vows to the LORD your God; let all who are around Him bring tribute to the awe-inspiring One.

12 He humbles the spirit of leaders; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
