1To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. In Judah God is known; His name is great in Israel.

1God is known in Judah; in Israel his reputation is great.

2In Salem also is His tabernacle, And His dwelling place in Zion.

2His abode is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.

3There He broke the arrows of the bow, The shield and sword of battle. Selah

3There he shattered sharp arrows, shields, swords, and weapons of war. Interlude

4You are more glorious and excellent Than the mountains of prey.

4You are enveloped by light; more majestic than mountains filled with game.

5The stouthearted were plundered; They have sunk into their sleep; And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands.

5Brave men were plundered while they slumbered in their sleep. All the men of the army were immobilized.

6At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep.

6At the sound of your battle cry, God of Jacob, both horse and chariot rider fell into deep sleep.

7You, Yourself, are to be feared; And who may stand in Your presence When once You are angry?

7You are awesome! who can stand in your presence when you're angry?

8You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth feared and was still,

8From heaven you declared judgment. The earth stands in awe and is quiet

9When God arose to judgment, To deliver all the oppressed of the earth. Selah

9when God arose to execute justice and to deliver all the afflicted of the earth. Interlude

10Surely the wrath of man shall praise You; With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself.

10Even human anger praises you; you will wear the survivors of your wrath as an ornament.

11Make vows to the LORD your God, and pay them; Let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared.

11Let everyone who surrounds the LORD your God make a vow and fulfill it to the Awesome One.

12He shall cut off the spirit of princes; He is awesome to the kings of the earth.

12He will humble the arrogant commanders-in-chief, instilling fear among the kings of the earth.
