Commentary on Psalms - Volume 5

1Known in Judah is God; In Israel great is his name.

2And in Salem was his tabernacle, And his dwelling-place in Zion.

3There he broke the arrows of the bow, The shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

4More glorious, more terrible art thou Than the mountains of prey.

5Spoiled were the stout in heart, They slept their sleep: And none of the men of might have found their hands.

6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob! Cast into a deep sleep were the chariot and the horse.

7Thou art terrible [even] thou; And who shall stand before thy face when thou art angry?

8From the heavens thou hast made judgment to be heard: The earth was afraid and was still,

9When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

10Surely the wrath of men shall praise thee, The remainder of wrath thou wilt restrain.

11Vow and pay to Jehovah your God: Let all who are round about him bring a present to the terrible one.

12He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
