6From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.
7Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!
8From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,
9In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. Selah.
10For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of fierceness Thou girdest on.
11Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding him. They bring presents to the Fearful One.
