4 You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains.
4
Glorious are you, more majestic than the mountains full of prey.
5 Our boldest enemies have been plundered. They lie before us in the sleep of death. No warrior could lift a hand against us.
5
The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands.
6 At the blast of your breath, O God of Jacob, their horses and chariots lay still.
6
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned.
7 No wonder you are greatly feared! Who can stand before you when your anger explodes?
7
But you, you are to be feared! Who can stand before you when once your anger is roused?
8 From heaven you sentenced your enemies; the earth trembled and stood silent before you.
8
From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still,
9 You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God, and to rescue the oppressed of the earth. Interlude
9
when God arose to establish judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah
10 Human defiance only enhances your glory, for you use it as a weapon.
10
Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt.
11 Make vows to the LORD your God, and keep them. Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.
11
Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared,
12 For he breaks the pride of princes, and the kings of the earth fear him.
12
who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
