In Judah's land God is well known

Verse 1

In Judah's land God is well known, his name's in Isr'el great: In Salem is his tabernacle, in Zion is his seat. There arrows of the bow he brake, the shield, the sword, the war. More glorious thou than hills of prey, more excellent art far.

Verse 2

Those that were stout of heart are spoiled, they slept their sleep outright; And none of those their hands did find, that were the men of might. When thy rebuke, O Jacob's God, had forth against them past, Their horses and their chariots both were in a dead sleep cast.

Verse 3

Thou, Lord, ev'n thou art he that should be feared; and who is he That may stand up before thy sight, if once thou angry be? From heav'n thou judgment caused be heard; the earth was still with fear, When God to judgment rose, to save all meek on earth that were.

Verse 4

Surely the very wrath of man unto thy praise redounds: Thou to the remnant of his wrath wilt set restraining bounds. Vow to the Lord your God, and pay: all ye that near him be, Bring gifts and presents unto him; for to be feared is he.

Verse 5

By him the sp'rits shall be cut off of those that princes are: Unto the kings that are on earth he fearful doth appear.
