In Judah the Almighty's known

1 In Judah the Almighty's known,
Almighty there by wonders shown:
his name in Jacob does excel:
2 His sanctu'ry in Salem stands;
The Majesty that heav'n commands
in Sion condescends to dwell.

3 He brake the bow and arrows there,
The shield, the temper'd sword, and spear;
there slain the mighty army lay:
4 Whence Sion's fame through earth is spread,
Of greater glory, greater dread,
than hills where robbers lodge their prey.

5 Their valiant chiefs, who came for spoil,
Themselves met there a shameful foil:
securely down to sleep they lay;
But wak'd no more, their stoutest band
Ne'er lifted on resisting hand
'gainst his that did their legions slay.

6 When Jacob's God began to frown,
Both horse and charioteers, o'erthrown,
together slept in endless night:
7 When thou, whom earth and heav'n revere,
Dost once with wrathful look appear,
what mortal pow'r can stand thy sight?

8 Pronounc'd from heav'n, earth heard its doom;
Grew hush'd with fear, when thou didst come,
the meek with justice to restore:
10 The wrath of man shall yield thee praise;
Its last attempts but serve to raise,
the triumphs of Almighty pow'r.

11 Vow to the Lord, ye nations; bring
Vow'd presents to th' eternal King:
thus to his Name due rev'rence pay,
12 Who proudest potentates can quell,
To earthly kings more terrible,
than to their trembling subjects they.
