God's Name is Great in Israel

1For 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.

2And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.

3There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Pause.

4Thou dost wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

5All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.

6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.

7Thou art terrible; and who shall withstand thee, because of thine anger?

8Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

9when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. Pause.

10For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to thee: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to thee.

11Vow, and pay your vows to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, even to him that is terrible,

12and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
