There he shattered the arrows, the shield, the sword, and the rest of the weapons of war. (Selah)

Certainly your angry judgment upon men will bring you praise; you reveal your anger in full measure.

I will remember the works of the Lord. Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago!

You are the God who does amazing things; you have revealed your strength among the nations.

The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and trembled. Yes, the depths of the sea shook with fear.

I will sing a song that imparts wisdom; I will make insightful observations about the past.

When the Lord heard this, he was furious. A fire broke out against Jacob, and his anger flared up against Israel,

He remembered that they were made of flesh, and were like a wind that blows past and does not return.

He struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, the firstfruits of their reproductive power in the tents of Ham.

Yet he brought out his people like sheep; he led them through the wilderness like a flock.

He abandoned the sanctuary at Shiloh, the tent where he lived among men.

He rejected the tent of Joseph; he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.

They neither know nor understand. They stumble around in the dark, while all the foundations of the earth crumble.

They say, “Come on, let’s annihilate them so they are no longer a nation! Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more.”

How blessed are those who live in your temple and praise you continually! (Selah)

A prayer of David. Listen O Lord! Answer me! For I am oppressed and needy.

Is your loyal love proclaimed in the grave, or your faithfulness in the place of the dead?

O Lord, sovereign God! Who is strong like you, O Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds you.

He will experience my faithfulness and loyal love, and by my name he will win victories.

I will place his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.
