1In aJudah is God known:

His name is great in Israel.

2In bSalem also is his ctabernacle,

And his dwelling place in Zion.

3There dbrake he the earrows of the bow,

The shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

4Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of fprey.

5gThe stouthearted are spoiled, they have hslept their sleep:

And none of the men of might have found their hands.

6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,

Both ithe chariot and horse hare cast into a dead sleep.

7Thou, even thou, art rto be feared:

And who may kstand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

8lThou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven;

The earth feared, and was still,

9When God arose lto judgment,

To save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

10mSurely the wrath of man shall praise thee:

The remainder of wrath shalt thou nrestrain.

11oVow, and pay unto the Lord your God:

pLet all that be round about him qbring presents †unto him that ought to be feared.

12He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is rterrible to the kings of the earth.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

In Judah God is known;

his name is great in Israel.

His abode has been established in Salem,

his dwelling place in Zion.

There he broke the flashing arrows,

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

Glorious are you, more majestic

than the mountains full of prey.

The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;

they sank into sleep;

all the men of war

were unable to use their hands.

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

both rider and horse lay stunned.

But you, you are to be feared!

Who can stand before you

when once your anger is roused?

From the heavens you uttered judgment;

the earth feared and was still,

when God arose to establish judgment,

to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

Surely the wrath of man shall praise you;

the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt.

Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;

let all around him bring gifts

to him who is to be feared,

who cuts off the spirit of princes,

who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

God is renowned in Judah;

in Israel his name is great.

His tent is in Salem,

his dwelling place in Zion.

There he broke the flashing arrows,

the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.

You are radiant with light,

more majestic than mountains rich with game.

The valiant lie plundered,

they sleep their last sleep;

not one of the warriors

can lift his hands.

At your rebuke, God of Jacob,

both horse and chariot lie still.

It is you alone who are to be feared.

Who can stand before you when you are angry?

From heaven you pronounced judgment,

and the land feared and was quiet—

when you, God, rose up to judge,

to save all the afflicted of the land.

Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise,

and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.

Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them;

let all the neighboring lands

bring gifts to the One to be feared.

He breaks the spirit of rulers;

he is feared by the kings of the earth.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

God is known in Judah;

his name is great in Israel.

His tent is in Salem,

his dwelling place in Zion.

There he shatters the bow’s flaming arrows,

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

Selah

You are resplendent and majestic

coming down from the mountains of prey.

The brave-hearted have been plundered;

they have slipped into their final sleep.

None of the warriors was able to lift a hand.

At your rebuke, God of Jacob,

both chariot and horse lay still.

And you—you are to be feared.

When you are angry,

who can stand before you?

From heaven you pronounced judgment.

The earth feared and grew quiet

when God rose up to judge

and to save all the lowly of the earth.

Selah

Even human wrath will praise you;

you will clothe yourself

with the wrath that remains.

Make and keep your vows

to the Lord your God;

let all who are around him bring tribute

to the awe-inspiring one.

He humbles the spirit of leaders;

he is feared by the kings of the earth.

NLTNew Living Translation

God is honored in Judah;

his name is great in Israel.

Jerusalem is where he lives;

Mount Zion is his home.

There he has broken the fiery arrows of the enemy,

the shields and swords and weapons of war.

Interlude

You are glorious and more majestic

than the everlasting mountains.

Our boldest enemies have been plundered.

They lie before us in the sleep of death.

No warrior could lift a hand against us.

At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob,

their horses and chariots lay still.

No wonder you are greatly feared!

Who can stand before you when your anger explodes?

From heaven you sentenced your enemies;

the earth trembled and stood silent before you.

You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God,

and to rescue the oppressed of the earth.

Interlude

Human defiance only enhances your glory,

for you use it as a weapon.

Make vows to the Lord your God, and keep them.

Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.

For he breaks the pride of princes,

and the kings of the earth fear him.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

God is known in Judah.

His name is great in Israel.

His den has been in Salem,

his lair in Zion.

There he broke the flames of the bow,

the shield and sword and battle. Selah

Radiant you are, majestic,

from the mountains of prey.

The stouthearted are plundered;

they sleep their sleep,

and all the able men cannot use their hands.

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

both rider and horse slumber.

You, indeed, are to be feared,

and who can stand before you

when you are angry?

From heaven you proclaimed judgment.

The earth feared and was still

when God rose for justice,

to save all the afflicted of the land. Selah

For the anger of humankind will praise you.

You will put on the remnant of anger.

Make vows and fulfill them to Yahweh, your God;

let all surrounding him

bring tribute to the one to be feared.

He cuts off the spirit of leaders.

He is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
