[1] God is known in Judah. His name is great in Israel. [2] His tent is in Salem. His home is in Zion. [3] There he destroyed flaming arrows, shields, swords, and weapons of war. Selah [4] You are the radiant one. You are more majestic than the ancient mountains. [5] Brave people were robbed. They died. None of the warriors were able to lift a hand. [6] At your stern warning, O God of Jacob, chariot riders and horses were put to sleep. [7] You alone must be feared! Who can stand in your presence when you become angry? [8] From heaven you announced a verdict. The earth was fearful and silent [9] when you rose to judge, O God, when you rose to save every oppressed person on earth. Selah [10] Even angry mortals will praise you. You will wear the remainder of their anger. [11] Make vows to the LORD your God, and keep them. Let everyone around him bring gifts to the one who must be feared. [12] He cuts short the lives of influential people. He terrifies the kings of the earth.
