his people will celebrate with tambourines and harps.
Lifting his mighty arm, he will fight the Assyrians.

the pyre is piled high with wood.
The breath of the Lord, like fire from a volcano,
will set it ablaze.

roar like the roaring of the sea.
Hear the thunder of the mighty forces
as they rush forward like thundering waves.

God will silence them, and they will run away.
They will flee like chaff scattered by the wind,
like a tumbleweed whirling before a storm.
14 In the evening Israel waits in terror,
but by dawn its enemies are dead.
This is the just reward of those who plunder us,
a fitting end for those who destroy us.

so few that a child could count them!
