⁰To the choirmaster, with stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph, a song.

¹Known in Judah is God; in Israel his name is great.

²And his lair was in Salem, and his den in Zion.

³There he shattered the fire-bolts of the bow, the shield and the sword and the battle. Selah.

⁴You are lit up, majestic, more than the mountains of prey.

⁵The mighty of heart were plundered; they slumbered their sleep, and none of the men of strength could find their hands.

⁶At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse sank into deep sleep.

⁷You, you are to be feared; and who can stand before your face from the moment of your anger?

⁸From the heavens you made hear the case; the land feared and she rested.

⁹When God rose for justice, to save all the humble of the land. Selah.

¹⁰For the rage of humankind will praise you; the remainder of their rages you will gird on.

¹¹Make vows and pay them to Yahweh your God; let all those around him bring a gift to the one revered.

¹²He cuts off the breath of rulers; he is to be feared by the kings of the land.
