2 And his place has been in * Or, Salem, see the Hebrew. peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.

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

4 You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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