Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

Verse 8 is found in chapter 76 of Psalms. Psalm 76 celebrates the manifestation of God’s power in Zion and describes enemy warriors stripped of their strength. Weapons of war lose their effectiveness before divine intervention. The language of judgment shows that even human anger can be subordinated to God’s purposes. The appropriate response is to make vows and pay homage to the Lord, whose majesty rules over the kings of the earth.

Du bist erschrecklich. Wer kann vor dir stehen, wenn du zürnest?
Desde los cielos hiciste oír juicio; La tierra tuvo temor y quedó suspensa,
Desde los cielos hiciste oír tu sentencia; la tierra sintió temor y quedó en silencio
Du haut des cieux tu as proclamé la sentence; La terre effrayée s'est tenue tranquille,
Tu bandisti giudicio dal cielo; La terra temette, e stette chela.
Desde os céus fizeste ouvir o teu juízo; a terra tremeu e se aquietou,
你從天上使人聽判斷。 上帝起來施行審判, 要救地上所有困苦的人; 那時地就懼怕而靜默。(細拉)
