1For the Conductor, with instrumental music, a psalm by Asaph, a song.
2God is known in Judah, His Name is great in Israel.
3His Tabernacle was in Shalem,1 and His dwelling place in Zion.
4There He broke the flying arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword and battle-forever.
5You are illumination, mightier than the mountains of prey.
6The stout-hearted were without sense, they slept their sleep, and all the warriors were unable to find their strength.
7At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, chariot and horse were stunned.
8You, awesome are You! Who can stand before You once You are enraged.
9From heaven You let the verdict be heard; the earth feared and was still,
10when God rose to pass judgement, to save all the humble of the earth forever.
11The anger of man will cause us to thank You;2 You will restrain the residue of wrath.
12Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them; all who surround Him will bring tribute to the Awesome One.
13He cuts down the spirit of nobles; He is awesome to the kings of the earth.
