2His tabernacle is in Salem; His dwelling place also is in Zion. 3There He broke the flaming arrows, The shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah You are resplendent, More majestic than the mountains of prey. 5The stouthearted were plundered, They sank into sleep; And none of the warriors could use his hands. 6At Your rebuke, God of Jacob, Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep.
