¹⁵ Why have your warriors fallen?
    They cannot stand, for the Lord has knocked them down.

¹⁵ See, the Lord is coming with fire,
    and his swift chariots roar like a whirlwind.
He will bring punishment with the fury of his anger
    and the flaming fire of his hot rebuke.
¹⁶ The Lord will punish the world by fire
    and by his sword.
He will judge the earth,
    and many will be killed by him.

    Melt them like wax in a fire.

for it is a day of great disaster for Egypt,
    a time of great punishment.

³ The Red Sea^[a] saw them coming and hurried out of their way!
    The water of the Jordan River turned away.
⁴ The mountains skipped like rams,
    the hills like lambs!
⁵ What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way?
    What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?
⁶ Why, mountains, did you skip like rams?
    Why, hills, like lambs?

⁷ Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
    at the presence of the God of Jacob.

² You drove out the pagan nations by your power
    and gave all the land to our ancestors.
You crushed their enemies
    and set our ancestors free.

²⁰ The stars fought from heaven.
    The stars in their orbits fought against Sisera.
²¹ The Kishon River swept them away—
    that ancient torrent, the Kishon.
March on with courage, my soul!
