English Standard Version | NET Bible |
1In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel. | 1For the music director; to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm of Asaph, a song. God has revealed himself in Judah; in Israel his reputation is great. |
2His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion. | 2He lives in Salem; he dwells in Zion. |
3There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah | 3There he shattered the arrows, the shield, the sword, and the rest of the weapons of war. (Selah) |
4Glorious are you, more majestic than the mountains full of prey. | 4You shine brightly and reveal your majesty, as you descend from the hills where you killed your prey. |
5The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands. | 5The bravehearted were plundered; they "fell asleep." All the warriors were helpless. |
6At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned. | 6At the sound of your battle cry, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse "fell asleep." |
7But you, you are to be feared! Who can stand before you when once your anger is roused? | 7You are awesome! Yes, you! Who can withstand your intense anger? |
8From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still, | 8From heaven you announced what their punishment would be. The earth was afraid and silent |
9when God arose to establish judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah | 9when God arose to execute judgment, and to deliver all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah) |
10Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt. | 10Certainly your angry judgment upon men will bring you praise; you reveal your anger in full measure. |
11Make your vows to the LORD your God and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared, | 11Make vows to the LORD your God and repay them! Let all those who surround him bring tribute to the awesome one! |
12who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is to be feared by the kings of the earth. | 12He humbles princes; the kings of the earth regard him as awesome. |
