Notus in Judaea. God is known in his church: and exerts his power in protecting it. It alludes to the slaughter of the Assyrians, in the days of king Ezechias.

1 Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. 2 In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel. 3 And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion: 4 There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie. 5 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

6 All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands. 7 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback. 8 Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath. 9 Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still, 10 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

8 "From that time"... From the time that thy wrath shall break out.

11 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee. 12 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible, 13 Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
