| 1 | To the overseer upon the stringed instrument: chanting to Asaph song. In Judah was God known: great his name in Israel. | In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel. | For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is renowned in Judah; in Israel his name is great. | |
| 2 | And his booth shall be in peace, and his dwelling in Zion. | 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 broke the lightnings of the bow, the shield and the sword, and war. Silence. | 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 | Thou art light, being magnified from the mountains of fresh foliage. | Glorious are you, more majestic than the mountains full of prey. | You are radiant with light, more majestic than mountains rich with game. | |
| 5 | The mighty of heart were spoiled, they slumbered their sleep: and all the men of strength found not their hands. | 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 | From thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the chariot and the horse lay in a deep sleep. | 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 | Thou art feared, thou: and who shall stand before thee from the time of thine anger? | 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 the heavens thou didst cause judgment to be heard; the earth feared and rested. | 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 | In God's rising up to judgment, to save all the poor of the earth. Silence. | 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 | For the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath thou wilt gird up. | 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 | Vow, ye, and repay to Jehovah your God: all being round about him shall bring a gift for fear. | 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 | He will cut off the spirit of leaders, being terrible to the kings of the earth. | 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. | |
