God, the Powerful Judge

1 For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph.(A) A song.
God is known in Judah;
His name is great in Israel.(B)
2
His tent is in Salem,(a)
His dwelling place in Zion.(C)
3
There He shatters the bow’s flaming arrows,
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.(D)Selah
4
You are resplendent and majestic
coming down from the mountains of prey.(E)
5
The brave-hearted have been plundered;
they have slipped into their final sleep.
None of the warriors was able to lift a hand.(F)
6
At Your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse lay still.(G)
7
And You—You are to be feared.(b)
When You are angry,
who can stand before You?(H)
8
From heaven You pronounced judgment.
The earth feared and grew quiet(I)
9
when God rose up to judge
and to save all the lowly of the earth.(J)Selah
10
Even human wrath will praise You;
You will clothe Yourself
with their remaining wrath.(c)(K)
11
Make and keep your vows
to the Lord your God;(L)
let all who are around Him bring tribute
to the awe-inspiring One.(d)(M)
12
He humbles the spirit of leaders;
He is feared by the kings of the earth.(N)
