God’s Name Is Great in Israel

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1God is known in Judah;

His name is great in Israel.

2So His [†]tabernacle is in Salem;

His dwelling place is in Zion.

3There He broke the [†]flaming arrows,

The shield and the sword and the battle. [†]Selah.

4You are shining,

Majestic from the mountains of prey.

5The stouthearted were plundered,

[†]They sank into sleep;

And none of the [†]warriors could use his hands.

6At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

Both chariot rider and horse slumbered into a deep sleep.

7But You, You are [†]fearsome;

And who can stand in Your presence when once [†]You are angry?

8You made Your cause to be heard from heaven;

The earth feared and was quiet

9When God arose to judgment,

To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.

10For the [†]wrath of man shall praise You;

With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.

11Make vows to Yahweh your God and pay them;

Let all who are around Him bring gifts to the Fearsome One.

12He will cut off the spirit of princes;

He is [†]feared by the kings of the earth.
