76

God is renowned in Judah
In Israel His name is great
His tent is in Salem
His dwelling place in Zion where His ways are straight

There He broke the flashing arrows
The shields and the swords, the weapons of war
There He brought us peace
Peace we’ve been waiting like never before

You are radiant with light
More majestic than mountains rich with game
The valiant lie plundered
They lie plundered and ashamed

They sleep their last sleep
Not one of the warriors can lift his hands
At your rebuke, God of Jacob
Both horse and chariot lie still to the end

It is You alone who are to be feared
From heaven You pronounced judgment
Who can stand before You when You are angry?
And the land feared and was quiet—

When you, God, rose up to judge
To save all the afflicted of the land
Surely Your wrath against mankind brings You praise
And the survivors of Your wrath are restrained

Make vows to the Lord Your God and fulfill them
Let all the neighboring lands bring gifts to the One to be feared
He breaks the spirit of rulers
By the kings of the earth He is feared
