God is known in Judah

God is known in Judah. His name is great in Israel. His tent is in Salem and where he lives is in Zion. There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword and the battle. Selah. You're more glorious and grand than the mountains of prey. The stouthearted have been spoiled; they have slept their sleep, and none of the mighty men have found their hands. At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both the chariot and the horse were cast into a dead sleep. You're the one to be feared. Who can stand before you once you're angry? You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared and was still, When God rose for judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah. Surely the anger of man will praise you; the remainder of anger you will restrain. Make your vows to the LORD your God and pay them. Let everyone around him bring gifts to the one to be feared. He'll cut off the spirit of leaders. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

God is known in Judah. His name is great in Israel. His tent is in Salem and where he lives is in Zion. That's where he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield and the sword and the battle. You're more glorious and grand than the mountains of prey. The strong-hearted have been looted. They've slept their sleep, and none of the men of might could find their hands. At your telling-off, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse were thrown into a dead sleep. You're the one to be feared. Who can stand in front of you once you're angry? You made judgment heard from heaven. The earth was frightened and went quiet when God got up for judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Because the fury of man will thank you. You'll strap on what's left of the fury. Make your vows to the Lord your God and pay them. Let everyone round him bring gifts to the one to be feared. He'll cut off the spirit of leaders. He's terrifying to the kings of the earth.

In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah. Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands. At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
