1. IN JUDAH God is known and renowned; His name is highly praised and is great in Israel.
2. In [Jeru]Salem also is His tabernacle, and His dwelling place is in Zion.
3. There He broke the bow's flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
4. Glorious and excellent are You from the mountains of prey [splendid and majestic, more than the everlasting mountains].
5. The stouthearted are stripped of their spoil, they have slept the sleep [of death]; and none of the men of might could raise their hands.
6. At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot [rider] and horse are cast into a dead sleep [of death]. [Exod. 15:1, 21; Nah. 2:13; Zech. 12:4.]
