[For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian.]
[1] God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.
[2] And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.
[3] There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Pause.
[4] Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.
[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] At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.
[7] Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger?
[8] Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
[9] when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. Pause.
[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] 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] and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
