1To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,
2In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.
3There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah.)
4You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.
5Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.
6At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.
7You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?
8From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,
9When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah.)
