The Majesty of God in Judgment

To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1 In aJudah God is known;
His name is great in Israel. 
2 In1 Salem also is His tabernacle,
And His dwelling place in Zion. 
3 There He broke the arrows of the bow,
The shield and sword of battle. Selah
4 You are more glorious and excellent
aThan the mountains of prey. 
5 aThe stouthearted were plundered;
bThey1 have sunk into their sleep;
And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands. 
6 aAt Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep. 
7 You, Yourself, are to be feared;
And awho may stand in Your presence
When once You are angry? 
8 aYou caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
bThe earth feared and was still, 
9 When God aarose to judgment,
To deliver all the oppressed of the earth. Selah 
10 aSurely the wrath of man shall praise You;
With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself. 
11 aMake vows to the Lord your God, and pay them;
bLet all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared.
