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.
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.
1 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
