For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of * Asaph. x A song.
His name is great in Israel. y
2 His tent is in Salem, z
His dwelling place in * Zion. a
3 There He shatters the bow’s flaming arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. b * Selah
4 You are resplendent and majestic
coming down from the mountains of prey. c
5 The brave-hearted have been plundered;
they have slipped into their final sleep.
None of the warriors was able to lift a hand. d
6 At Your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse lay still. e
7 And You—You are to be * feared. f
When You are angry,
who can stand before You? g
8 From heaven You pronounced judgment.
The earth feared and grew quiet h
and to save all the lowly of the earth. i Selah
10 Even human wrath will praise You;
You will clothe Yourself
with their remaining wrath. j k
to the Lord your God; l
let all who are around Him bring tribute
12 He humbles the spirit of leaders;
He is feared by the kings of the earth. o
