The Majesty of God in Judgment
To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.
In aJudah God is known;
His name is great in Israel.
2 In Salem also is His tabernacle,
And His dwelling place in Zion.
3 There He broke the arrows of the bow,
The shield and sword of battle.
Selah
4 You are more glorious and excellent
aThan the mountains of prey.
5 aThe stouthearted were plundered;
bThey have sunk into their sleep;
And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands.
6 aAt Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep.
7 You, Yourself, are to be feared;
And awho may stand in Your presence
When once You are angry?
8 aYou caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
bThe earth feared and was still,
9 When God aarose to judgment,
To deliver all the oppressed of the earth.
Selah
10 aSurely the wrath of man shall praise You;
With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself.
11 aMake vows to the Lord your God, and pay them;
bLet all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes;
aHe is awesome to the kings of the earth.
