God the Victor
1 God is known in Judah;
his name is honored in Israel.
2 He has his home in Jerusalem;
he lives on Mount Zion.
3 There he broke the arrows of the enemy,
their shields and swords, yes, all their weapons.
4 How glorious you are, O God!
How majestic, as you return from the mountains
where you defeated your foes.
5 Their brave soldiers have been stripped of all they had
and now are sleeping the sleep of death;
all their strength and skill was useless.
6 When you threatened them, O God of Jacob,
the horses and their riders fell dead.
7 But you, Lord, are feared by all.
No one can stand in your presence
when you are angry.
8 You made your judgment known from heaven;
the world was afraid and kept silent,
9 when you rose up to pronounce judgment,
to save all the oppressed on earth.
10 Human anger only results in more praise for you;
those who survive the wars will keep your festivals.
11 Give the Lord your God what you promised him;
bring gifts to him, all you nearby nations.
God makes everyone fear him;
12 he humbles proud princes
and terrifies great kings.
Dievs ir Savas tautas patvērums
1 Dziesma dziedātāju vadonim, ar cītarām. Asafa psalms. 2 Dievs ir visu atzīts Jūdā, Israēlā Viņa Vārds ir liels, 3 un Salemā bija Viņa telts, un Ciānā bija Viņa mājoklis. 4 Tur Viņš salauza stopu bultas, vairogu, zobenu un visādus kara piederumus. (Sela.) 5 Spožāks un varenāks esi Tu par tiem kalniem, kur laupījumu sakrāj. 6 Savā sirdī lepnie karotāji ir aplaupīti un guļ savā nāves miegā; visiem drošsirdīgajiem ļaudīm pagura rokas. 7 No Tava draudu sauciena, Jēkaba Dievs, krita gar zemi apstulbuši zirgi ar visiem ratiem. 8 Tu esi briesmīgs, un kas gan pastāvēs Tavā priekšā Tavā dusmu laikā? 9 No debesīm Tu pasludināji tiesas noturēšanu: tad zeme iztrūkās, tapa klusa, 10 kad Dievs piecēlās tiesas spriedumam, lai palīdzētu visiem nospiestajiem virs zemes. (Sela.) 11 Pat cilvēku bardzība kalpo Tavam godam, un ar visukarstām dusmām Tu apjozies. 12 Dodiet solījumu un pildiet to Tam Kungam, savam Dievam! Visi, kas ap Viņu, lai nes dāvanas Viņam, bijājamam Dievam. 13 Viņš salauž lielo kungu lepnības garu un iedveš bijību pasaules ķēniņiem.
