761 In Judah, God is known.
His name is great in Israel. 2 His tabernacle is also in Salem;
His dwelling place in Zion. 3 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow,
the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah. 4 Glorious are you, and excellent,
more than mountains of game. 5 Valiant men lie plundered,
they have slept their last sleep.
None of the men of war can lift their hands. 6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
7 You, even you, are to be feared.
Who can stand in your sight when you are angry? 8 You pronounced judgment from heaven.
The earth feared, and was silent, 9 when God arose to judgment,
to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah. 10 Surely the wrath of man praises you.
The survivors of your wrath are restrained. 11 Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them!
Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared. 12 He will cut off the spirit of princes.
He is feared by the kings of the earth.
31 Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are those who rise up against me. 2 Many there are who say of my soul,
“There is no help for him in God.” Selah. 3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice,
and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid myself down and slept.
I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people
who have set themselves against me on every side. 7 Arise, Yahweh!
Save me, my God!
For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone.
You have broken the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
Your blessing be on your people. Selah.
