New King James Version | International Standard Version |
1To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. In Judah God is known; His name is great in Israel. | 1God is known in Judah; in Israel his reputation is great. |
2In Salem also is His tabernacle, And His dwelling place in Zion. | 2His abode is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion. |
3There He broke the arrows of the bow, The shield and sword of battle. Selah | 3There he shattered sharp arrows, shields, swords, and weapons of war. Interlude |
4You are more glorious and excellent Than the mountains of prey. | 4You are enveloped by light; more majestic than mountains filled with game. |
5The stouthearted were plundered; They have sunk into their sleep; And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands. | 5Brave men were plundered while they slumbered in their sleep. All the men of the army were immobilized. |
6At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep. | 6At the sound of your battle cry, God of Jacob, both horse and chariot rider fell into deep sleep. |
7You, Yourself, are to be feared; And who may stand in Your presence When once You are angry? | 7You are awesome! who can stand in your presence when you're angry? |
8You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth feared and was still, | 8From heaven you declared judgment. The earth stands in awe and is quiet |
9When God arose to judgment, To deliver all the oppressed of the earth. Selah | 9when God arose to execute justice and to deliver all the afflicted of the earth. Interlude |
10Surely the wrath of man shall praise You; With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself. | 10Even human anger praises you; you will wear the survivors of your wrath as an ornament. |
11Make vows to the LORD your God, and pay them; Let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared. | 11Let everyone who surrounds the LORD your God make a vow and fulfill it to the Awesome One. |
12He shall cut off the spirit of princes; He is awesome to the kings of the earth. | 12He will humble the arrogant commanders-in-chief, instilling fear among the kings of the earth. |
