Who Can Stand Before You?
In Judah God is known; his name is great
in Israel. His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion.
There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of
war.
Glorious
are you, more majestic than the mountains full of prey. The stouthearted were
stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable
to use their hands. At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay
stunned.
But you, you are to be feared! Who can stand before you when once your anger is
roused? From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still, when
God arose to establish judgment, to save all the humble of the earth.
Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you will put on
like a belt. Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them; let all
around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared, who cuts off the spirit of
princes, who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.
