For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.
In Judah is God known:
His name is great in Israel.
In Salem also is his { Or, covert}tabernacle,
And his { Or, lnir}dwelling-place in Zion.
There he brake the {Or, fiery shafts Or, lightnings}arrows of the bow;
The shield, and the sword, and the battle. [Selah
Glorious art thou and excellent,
{Or, More than}From the mountains of prey.
The stouthearted are made a spoil,
They have slept their sleep;
And none of the men of might have found their hands.
At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
Thou, even thou, art to be feared;
And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven;
The earth feared, and was still,
When God arose to judgment,
To save all the meek of the earth.
[Selah
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:
The residue of wrath shalt thou {Or, restrain}gird upon thee.
Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God:
Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
He will cut off the spirit of princes:
He is terrible to the kings of the earth.

This is my resting-place for ever:Here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
Cry aloud and shout, thou {Hebrew: inhabitress.}inhabitant of Zion; for great in the midst of thee is the Holy One of Israel.
