Psalms
Summary
To the Chief Musician, on Stringed Instruments. A Psalm or Song of Asaph. A majestic hymn celebrating God's awesome power in defending His people at Salem. It declares that even the wrath of man shall ultimately bring God praise.
In Judah is God known; his name is great in Israel.
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Sion.
There broke he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands.
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
You, even you, are to be feared; and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?
You did cause judgement to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
When God arose to judgement, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.
Vow, and pay to the LORD your God; let all that be round about him bring presents to him that ought to be feared.
He shall cut off the spirit of princes; he is awesome to the kings of the earth.
