To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.

IN Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. 2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Sion. 3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. 5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep and none of the men of might have found their hands. 6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. 7 Thou, even thou art to be feared; and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? 8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth feared and was still, 9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God; let 11 all that be round about him bring presents bunto him that ought to be feared.

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

9 The children of Ephraim being armed, and b carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. 10 They kept not the covenant of God: and refused to walk in his law: :

vellous things did he in
the sight of their fathers:

divided the sea,
caused them

through and he made
the waters to stand as an

also he led them with a

drink as out of the great
depths. 16 He brought

streams also out of the
rock, and caused waters
to run down like rivers.

17 And they sinned yet more against him:by provoking the most High in the wilderness. 18 And they tempted God in their
