Who Can Stand Before You?

To the choirmaster: with cstringed instruments. A Psalm of dAsaph. A Song.

¹In Judah God is eknown;

his name is great in Israel.

²His fabode has been established in gSalem,

his hdwelling place in Zion.

³There he ibroke the flashing arrows,

the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

⁴Glorious are you, more majestic

jthan the mountains full of kprey.

⁵lThe stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;

mthey sank into sleep;

all the men of war

were unable to use their hands.

⁶At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

both nrider and horse lay stunned.

⁷oBut you, you are to be feared!

Who can pstand before you

when once your anger is roused?

⁸From the heavens you uttered judgment;

qthe earth feared and was still,

⁹when God rarose to establish judgment,

to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

¹⁰Surely sthe wrath of man shall praise you;

the remnant1 of wrath you will put on like a belt.

¹¹tMake your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;

let all around him ubring gifts

to him who vis to be feared,

¹²who wcuts off the spirit of princes,

who xis to be feared by the kings of the earth.
