“And in the greatness of Your [a]excellence You (A)overthrow those who rise up against You;
(B)You send forth Your burning anger, and it (C)consumes them as chaff.
(D)At the blast of Your nostrils the waters were piled up,
(E)The flowing waters stood up like a heap;
The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.
(F)The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will (G)divide the spoil;
My [b]desire shall be [c]gratified against them;
I will draw out my sword, my hand will [d]destroy them.’
