76 - Notus in Judæa

1  In Judah God is known; *
his Name is great in Israel.

2  At Salem is his tabernacle, *
and his dwelling is in Zion.

3  There he broke the arrows of the bow, *
the shield, the sword, and the weapons of battle.

4  You are of more honor and might *
than the everlasting hills.

5  The strong of heart have been despoiled; they have slept their sleep; *
and all those whose hands were mighty have lost their strength.

6  At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, *
both the chariot and horse lie stunned upon the ground.

7  You, even you, are to be feared, *
and who may stand in your sight when you are angry?

8  You caused your judgment to be heard from heaven; *
the earth trembled and was silent,

9  When God arose to judgment *
and to help all the meek upon earth.

10  The wrath of man shall be turned to your praise, *
and the remnant of fierceness you shall restrain.

11  Make a vow unto the Lord your God and keep it, all you who are round about him; *
bring gifts unto him who is worthy to be feared.

12  He restrains the spirit of princes, *
and is feared among the kings of the earth.
