Music:
1. In Judah God is known and feared;
In Israel His Name is great.
His tent in Salem He hath reared;
His royal seat in Zion hath made.
There He broke arrows of the bow,
The shield, the sword and war's array;
More excellent, O Lord, art Thou,
More glorious far than hills of prey.
2. The stout of heart are spoiled in fight,
A deadly sleep the warrior slept;
No hand of all the men of might;
Its wonted strength or cunning kept.
O Jacob's God, at Thy command,
The chariot and the horse went down;
For Thou art fearful, who can stand,
In the tempest of Thy frown?
3. From heaven God His judgment gave,
The trembling earth stood still and feared;
When all the meek on earth to save;
For righteous judgment God appeared.
Let all around their presents bring,
To Him whom all the world should fear;
He cuts off princes, God the King,
Shall fearful to earth's kings appear.
