1 The Majesty of God in Judgment To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. In Ps. 48:1, 3 Judah God is known; His name is great in Israel.
2 In Salem also is His tabernacle, And His dwelling place in Zion.
3 There He broke the arrows of the bow, The shield and sword of battle. Selah
4 You are more glorious and excellent Ezek. 38:12 Than the mountains of prey.
5 Is. 10:12; 46:12 The stouthearted were plundered; Ps. 13:3 They have sunk into their sleep; And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands.
6 Ex. 15:1–21; Ezek. 39:20; Nah. 2:13; Zech. 12:4 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep.
7 You, Yourself, are to be feared; And (Ezra 9:15; Nah. 1:6; Mal. 3:2; Rev. 6:17) who may stand in Your presence When once You are angry?
8 Ex. 19:9 You caused judgment to be heard from heaven; 1 Chr. 16:30;2 Chr. 20:29 The earth feared and was still,
9 When God (Ps. 9:7–9) arose to judgment, To deliver all the oppressed of the earth. Selah
10 Ex. 9:16; Rom. 9:17 Surely the wrath of man shall praise You; With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself.
11 (Eccl. 5:4–6) Make vows to the Lord your God, and pay them; 2 Chr. 32:22, 23 Let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes; Ps. 68:35 He is awesome to the kings of the earth.
