God’s Name Is Great in Israel 1(75:1) For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel. 2(75:2) And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion. 3(75:3) There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Pause. 4(75:4) Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains. 5(75:5) All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands. 6(75:6) At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered. 7(75:7) Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger? 8(75:8) Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still, 9(75:9) when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. Pause. 10(75:10) For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to thee: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to thee. 11(75:11) Vow, and pay your vows to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, even to him that is terrible, 12(75:12) and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
