God’s Name Is Great in Israel

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song.

God is known in Judah;

His name is great in Israel.

2 

His tent is in Salem,[fn]

His dwelling place in Zion.

3 

There He shattered the flaming arrows

the shield and sword and weapons of war. Selah

4 

You are resplendent with light,

more majestic than mountains filled with game.

5 

The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep.

No men of might could lift a hand.

6 

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

both horse and rider lie stunned.

7 

You alone are to be feared.

When You are angry, who can stand before You?

8 

From heaven You pronounced judgment,

[and] the earth feared and was still

9 

when God rose up to judge,

to save all the lowly of the earth. Selah

10 

Even the wrath of man shall praise You;

with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.[fn]

11 

Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God;

let all the neighboring lands bring tribute

to Him who is to be feared.

12 

He breaks the spirits of princes;

He is feared by the kings of the earth.
