For the leader. With instrumental music. A psalm of Asaph, a song. God has made himself known in Judah, his name is great in Israel.

2 Et factus est in pace locus ejus, et habitatio ejus in Sion.

His tent is in Salem, his dwelling in Zion.

3 Ibi confregit potentias arcuum, scutum, gladium, et bellum.

There he broke the lightning arrows, shield, sword, and weapons of war. (Selah)

4 Illuminans tu mirabiliter a montibus æternis;

Terrible is your splendour on the everlasting mountains.

5 turbati sunt omnes insipientes corde. Dormierunt somnum suum, et nihil invenerunt omnes viri divitiarum in manibus suis.

Despoiled were the stout of heart; in the sleep into which they had fallen, none of the warriors could lift a hand.

6 Ab increpatione tua, Deus Jacob, dormitaverunt qui ascenderunt equos.

At your rebuke, God of Jacob, sank chariot and horse to sleep.

7 Tu terribilis es; et quis resistet tibi? ex tunc ira tua.

Awful are you: who can stand before you, when once you are angry?

8 De cælo auditum fecisti judicium: terra tremuit et quievit

The judgment you gave from heaven frightened the earth into silence,

9 cum exsurgeret in judicium Deus, ut salvos faceret omnes mansuetos terræ.

when God arose to judgment to save the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

10 Quoniam cogitatio hominis confitebitur tibi, et reliquiæ cogitationis diem festum agent tibi.

The fiercest will praise you, to you will the remnant hold festival.

11 Vovete et reddite Domino Deo vestro, omnes qui in circuitu ejus affertis munera: terribili,

Vow and pay to Lord your God, and let all who are round him bring presents.

12 et ei qui aufert spiritum principum: terribili apud reges terræ.]

He lops off the courage of princes, and with terror fills kings of the earth.
