3 There he shattered sharp arrows, shields, swords, and weapons of ^b war. Interlude

4 You are enveloped by light; more majestic than mountains filled with game.

5 Brave men were plundered while they slumbered in their sleep. All the men of the army were immobilized.

6 At the sound of your battle cry, God of Jacob, both horse and chariot rider fell into deep sleep.

7 You are awesome! who can stand in your presence when you’re angry?

8 From heaven you declared judgment. The earth stands in awe and is quiet

9 when God arose to execute justice and to deliver all the afflicted of the earth. Interlude

10 Even human anger praises you; you will wear the survivors of your wrath as an ornament. ^c

11 Let everyone who surrounds the LORD your God make a vow and fulfill it to the Awesome One. ^d

12 He will humble the arrogant ^e commanders-in-chief, ^f instilling fear among the kings of the earth.
