1To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm or song of Assaph. In Judah hath God been made known: in Israel is his name great. 2And in Salem was his tabernacle made, and his dwellingplace in Zion. 3There broke he the shining arrows of the bow, shield, and sword, and battle. Selah. 4Thou art more brilliant, more excellent than the mountains full of prey. 5Bereft of reason are the stouthearted, they slumber their sleep: and none of the men of might have found the use of their hands. 6From thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, lie in deep sleep both chariot and horse. 7Thouthou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thy anger is kindled? 8From heaven hast thou caused thy sentence to be heard: the earth feared, and became still, 9When God rose to judgment, to save all the lowly of the earth. Selah. 10For the fury of man shall praise thee: the remainder of the fury wilt thou gird about thee. 11Make vows, and pay them unto the Lord your God, all ye that are round about him: let men bring presents unto him that exciteth fear. 12He will cut down the spirit of the powerful: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
