Psalms 76:2

SalemZion

1 God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.

3 There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war. Selah

4 You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.
