3 There he shattered flames of a bow shield and sword and battle (Selah)

There he brake the arrows of the bow; The shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

4 [are] lighted up You [are] majestic more than mountains of prey.

Glorious art thou [and] excellent, From the mountains of prey.

5 They were plundered - [people] mighty of heart they slumbered sleep their and not they found all [the] men of strength hands their.

The stouthearted are made a spoil, They have slept their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands.

6 From rebuke your O God of Jacob [were] sleeping and chariot and horse.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

7 You - [are] to be feared you and who? will he stand before you from then anger your.

Thou, even thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

8 From heaven you proclaimed judgment [the] earth it was afraid and it was quiet.

Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,

9 When arose for judgment God to save all [the] humble [people] of [the] earth (Selah)

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

10 For [the] anger of humankind it will praise you [the] remainder of anger you will gird on.

Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.

11 Make vows and pay [them] to Yahweh God your all [those] around him let them bring a gift to the awesome one.

Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

12 He humbles [the] spirit of rulers [he is] to be feared by [the] kings of [the] earth.

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