[1] People in Judah know God; his fame is great in Israel. [2] His Tent is in Jerusalem; his home is on Mount Zion. [3] There God broke the flaming arrows, the shields, the swords, and the weapons of war. Selah [4] God, how wonderful you are! You are more splendid than the hills full of animals. [5] The brave soldiers were stripped as they lay asleep in death. Not one warrior had the strength to stop it. [6] God of Jacob, when you spoke strongly, horses and riders fell dead. [7] You are feared; no one can stand against you when you are angry. [8] From heaven you gave the decision, and the earth was afraid and silent. [9] God, you stood up to judge and to save the needy people of the earth. Selah [10] People praise you for your anger against evil. Those who live through your anger are stopped from doing more evil. [11] Make and keep your promises to the LORD your God. From all around, gifts should come to the God we worship. [12] God breaks the spirits of great leaders; the kings on earth fear him.
