3There he has broken the fiery arrows of the enemy, the shields and swords and weapons of war. Interlude | 3There He broke the flaming arrows, The shield and the sword and the weapons of war. Selah. |
4You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains. | 4You are resplendent, More majestic than the mountains of prey. |
5Our boldest enemies have been plundered. They lie before us in the sleep of death. No warrior could lift a hand against us. | 5The stouthearted were plundered, They sank into sleep; And none of the warriors could use his hands. |
6At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob, their horses and chariots lay still. | 6At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep. |
7No wonder you are greatly feared! Who can stand before you when your anger explodes? | 7You, even You, are to be feared; And who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry? |
8From heaven you sentenced your enemies; the earth trembled and stood silent before you. | 8You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth feared and was still |
9You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God, and to rescue the oppressed of the earth. Interlude | 9When God arose to judgment, To save all the humble of the earth. Selah. |
10Human defiance only enhances your glory, for you use it as a weapon. | 10For the wrath of man shall praise You; With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself. |
11Make vows to the LORD your God, and keep them. Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One. | 11Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them; Let all who are around Him bring gifts to Him who is to be feared. |
12For he breaks the pride of princes, and the kings of the earth fear him. | 12He will cut off the spirit of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth. |
