[1] God is known in Judah; his name is honored in Israel. [2] He has his home in Jerusalem; he lives on Mount Zion. [3] There he broke the arrows of the enemy, their shields and swords, yes, all their weapons. [4] How glorious you are, O God! How majestic, as you return from the mountains where you defeated your foes. [5] Their brave soldiers have been stripped of all they had and now are sleeping the sleep of death; all their strength and skill was useless. [6] When you threatened them, O God of Jacob, the horses and their riders fell dead. [7] But you, LORD, are feared by all. No one can stand in your presence when you are angry. [8] You made your judgment known from heaven; the world was afraid and kept silent, [9] when you rose up to pronounce judgment, to save all the oppressed on earth. [10] Human anger only results in more praise for you; those who survive the wars will keep your festivals. [11] Give the LORD your God what you promised him; bring gifts to him, all you nearby nations. God makes everyone fear him; [12] he humbles proud princes and terrifies great kings.
