1God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.

2And his place has been in ¹³⁸peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.

3There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Pause.

4You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

5All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.

6At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.

7You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger?

8You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

9when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. Pause.

10For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you.

11Vow, and pay your vows to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, even to him that is terrible,

12and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
