1In Judah is God known: His name is great in Israel. 2In Salem also is his tabernacle, And his dwelling-place in Zion. 3There he brake the arrows of the bow; The shield, and the sword, and the battle. [Selah
The Power of God in Battle
4Glorious art thou and excellent, From the mountains of prey. 5The stouthearted are made a spoil , They have slept their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands. 6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep .
The Response of the Nations
7Thou, even thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? 8Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared , and was still , 9When God arose to judgment , To save all the meek of the earth . [Selah
A Call to Worship and Vow Fulfillment
10Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee. 11Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared. 12He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
