Tap any verse to comment or suggest a better wording.

¹For the choir leader. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.
God is known in Judah.
His name is great in Israel. ²His tent is in Salem.
His home is in Zion. ³There he broke the flaming arrows.
He broke the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah ⁴You shine with bright light.
You are more glorious than mountains full of wild animals. ⁵The brave soldiers have been robbed.
They sleep their last sleep.
None of the strong men could lift a hand. ⁶God of Jacob, when you spoke sharply,
both horse and rider lay still as if dead. ⁷You alone are to be feared.
Who can stand before you when you are angry? ⁸From heaven you announced your judgment.
The earth was afraid and was quiet ⁹when God rose up to judge.
He rose up to save all the humble people of the earth. Selah ¹⁰Even people's anger will praise you.
You will wear what is left of their anger like a belt. ¹¹Make promises to the LORD your God, and keep them.
Let all the lands around him bring gifts
to the one who is to be feared. ¹²He breaks the pride of princes.
The kings of the earth fear him.
