¹¹ The sun and moon stood still in the sky
    as your brilliant arrows flew
    and your glittering spear flashed.

⁵ Open the heavens, Lord, and come down.
    Touch the mountains so they billow smoke.
⁶ Hurl your lightning bolts and scatter your enemies!
    Shoot your arrows and confuse them!

¹² Thick clouds shielded the brightness around him
    and rained down hail and burning coals.^[a]
13 The Lord thundered from heaven;
    the voice of the Most High resounded
    amid the hail and burning coals.
¹⁴ He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies;
    great bolts of lightning flashed, and they were confused.

“Let the sun stand still over Gibeon,
    and the moon over the valley of Aijalon.”

²¹ The Lord will come as he did against the Philistines at Mount Perazim
    and against the Amorites at Gibeon.
He will come to do a strange thing;
    he will come to do an unusual deed:

¹⁷ The clouds poured down rain;
    the thunder rumbled in the sky.
    Your arrows of lightning flashed.
¹⁸ Your thunder roared from the whirlwind;
    the lightning lit up the world!
    The earth trembled and shook.

⁴ Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
    and their words to all the world.

God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.
