from the face of the wicked who have devastated me; from the enemies of my soul who surround me.

You have pushed me violently, to make me fall; but Jehovah has helped me.

I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works.

Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness.

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoils; my desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

Are they not finding and dividing the spoils: to each chief warrior a girl to love; for Sisera, plunder of dyed garments, plunder of garments embroidered and dyed, two pieces of dyed embroidery for the necks of the plunderers?

Thus let all Your enemies perish, O Jehovah! But let those who love Him be like the sun when it goes forth in its might. Thus the land was quiet forty years.

So now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of Jehovah. For the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.

And my hand has found, as a nest, the riches of the people; and as one gathers eggs that are left, I have gathered all the earth; and there was no one who moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

Therefore the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, shall send leanness among his fat ones; and under his glory He shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

And it shall burn up the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a sick one faints.
