[1] God has revealed himself in Judah; in Israel his reputation is great. [2] He lives in Salem; he dwells in Zion. [3] There he shattered the arrows, the shield, the sword, and the rest of the weapons of war. (Selah) [4] You shine brightly and reveal your majesty, as you descend from the hills where you killed your prey. [5] The bravehearted were plundered; they "fell asleep." All the warriors were helpless. [6] At the sound of your battle cry, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse "fell asleep." [7] You are awesome! Yes, you! Who can withstand your intense anger? [8] From heaven you announced what their punishment would be. The earth was afraid and silent [9] when God arose to execute judgment, and to deliver all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah) [10] Certainly your angry judgment upon men will bring you praise; you reveal your anger in full measure. [11] Make vows to the LORD your God and repay them. Let all those who surround him bring tribute to the awesome one. [12] He humbles princes; the kings of the earth regard him as awesome.
