1 You, our God,are famous in Judahand honored in Israel.
2 Your home is on Mount Zion,the city of peace.
3 There you destroyedfiery arrows, shields, swords,and all the other weapons.
4 You are more glorious thanthe eternal mountains.
5 Brave warriors were robbedof what they had taken,and now they lie dead,unable to lift an arm.
6 God of Jacob, when you roar,enemy chariots and horsesdrop dead in their tracks.
7 Our God, you are fearsome,and no one can oppose youwhen you are angry.
8 From heaven you announcedyour decisions as judge!And all who live on this earthwere terrified and silent
9 when you took over as judge,ready to rescueeveryone in need.
10 Even the most angry peoplewill praise youwhen you are furious.
11 Everyone, make your promisesto the Lord your Godand do what you promise.The Lord is fearsome,and all his servantsshould bring him gifts.
12 God destroys the courageof rulers and kingsand makes cowards of them.
