You shine with light; you are more majestic than the everlasting* mountains.

Our most courageous enemies have been plundered. They sleep the sleep of death. Even the strongest of them could not raise a hand against us.

You are terrifying—who can stand before you when you are angry?
8
From heaven you announced judgment. Everyone on earth was afraid and stood still,
9
when you stood up to judge, to save the oppressed people of the earth. Selah.
10
Even human anger against you makes you look glorious, for you wear it like a crown.*
11
Make your promises to God and be sure to keep them. Everyone bring gifts to the awe-inspiring one.

For he humbles proud leaders; he terrifies the kings of the earth.
