The Victorious Power of the God of Jacob.

1 For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.
God is (A)known in Judah;
His name is (B)great in Israel.
2
His (a)(C)tabernacle is in (D)Salem;
His (E)dwelling place also is in Zion.
3
There He (F)broke the (b)flaming arrows,
The shield and the sword and the (c)weapons of war. (d)Selah.
4
You are resplendent,
(e)More majestic than the mountains of prey.
5
The (G)stouthearted were plundered,
(f)They sank into sleep;
And none of the (g)warriors could use his hands.
6
At Your (H)rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both (h)(I)rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep.
7
You, even You, are (J)to be feared;
And (K)who may stand in Your presence when once (i)You are angry?
8
You caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
The earth (L)feared and was still
9
When God (M)arose to judgment,
To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.
10
For the (j)(N)wrath of man shall praise You;
With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.
11
(O)Make vows to the Lord your God and (P)fulfill them;
Let all who are around Him (Q)bring gifts to Him who is to be feared.
12
He will cut off the spirit of princes;
He is (k)(R)feared by the kings of the earth.
