2 Jerusalem is where he lives; Mount Zion is his home. His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion. His tent is in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he has broken the fiery arrows of the enemy, the shields and swords and weapons of war. Interlude There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah There he broke the flashing arrows, the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.
4 You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains. Glorious are you, more majestic than the mountains full of prey. You are radiant with light, more majestic than mountains rich with game.
5 Our boldest enemies have been plundered. They lie before us in the sleep of death. No warrior could lift a hand against us. The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands. The valiant lie plundered, they sleep their last sleep; not one of the warriors can lift his hands.
6 At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob, their horses and chariots lay still. At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned. At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both horse and chariot lie still.
7 No wonder you are greatly feared! Who can stand before you when your anger explodes? But you, you are to be feared! Who can stand before you when once your anger is roused? It is you alone who are to be feared. Who can stand before you when you are angry?
8 From heaven you sentenced your enemies; the earth trembled and stood silent before you. From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still, From heaven you pronounced judgment, and the land feared and was quiet—
9 You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God, and to rescue the oppressed of the earth. Interlude when God arose to establish judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah when you, God, rose up to judge, to save all the afflicted of the land.
10 Human defiance only enhances your glory, for you use it as a weapon. Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt. Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise, and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.
11 Make vows to the LORD your God, and keep them. Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One. Make your vows to the LORD your God and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared, Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfill them; let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared.
12 For he breaks the pride of princes, and the kings of the earth fear him. who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is to be feared by the kings of the earth. He breaks the spirit of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
