| [1]To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- A Psalm of Asaph. -- A Song. In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name [is] great. |
[1]God is known in Judah: his name is great in Israel. |
| [2]And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion. |
[2]For in Salem is his tabernacle, and his dwelling in Zion. |
| [3]There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. Selah. |
[3]There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield and the sword and the battle. Selah. |
| [4]Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey. |
[4]Thou art more bright and puissant, then the mountains of prey. |
| [5]Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands. |
[5]The stout hearted are spoiled: they have slept their sleep, and all the men of strength have not found their hands. |
| [6]From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep. |
[6]At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast asleep. |
| [7]Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry! |
[7]Thou, even thou art to be feared: and who shall stand in thy sight, when thou art angry! |
| [8]From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still, |
[8]Thou didst cause thy judgment to be heard from heaven: therefore the earth feared and was still, |
| [9]In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. Selah. |
[9]When thou, O God, arose to judgment, to help all the meek of the earth. Selah. |
| [10]For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on. |
[10]Surely the rage of man shall turn to thy praise: the remnant of the rage shalt thou restrain. |
| [11]Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One. |
[11]Vow and perform unto the Lord your God, all ye that be round about him: let them bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. |
| [12]He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth! |
[12]He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth. |
