Blessed be the Lord,
    who has not given us
    as prey to their teeth!

The enemy said, (A)‘I will pursue, I will overtake,
    I (B)will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.
    I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
10 You (C)blew with your wind; the (D)sea covered them;
    they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

14 My hand has found like a nest
    the wealth of the peoples;
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
    so I have gathered all the earth;
and there was none that moved a wing
    or opened the mouth or chirped.”

15 Shall (A)the axe boast over him who hews with it,
    or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?
As if a rod should wield him who lifts it,
    or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood!
16 Therefore the Lord God of hosts
    will send wasting sickness among his (B)stout warriors,
and under his glory (C)a burning will be kindled,
    like the burning of fire.
17 (D)The light of Israel will become a fire,
    and (E)his Holy One a flame,
and (F)it will burn and devour
    his thorns and briers (G)in one day.
18 The glory of (H)his forest and of his (I)fruitful land
    the Lord will destroy, both soul and body,
    and it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
19 The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few
    that a child can write them down.

On (A)the glorious splendor of your majesty,
    and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
They shall speak of (B)the might of your awesome deeds,
    and I will declare your greatness.

13 I was (A)pushed hard,[a] so that I was falling,
    but the Lord helped me.

  1. Psalm 118:13 Hebrew You (that is, the enemy) pushed me hard

20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the Lord, for the king of Israel has come out to seek (A)a single flea like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains.”

30 ‘Have they not found and (A)divided the spoil?—
    A womb or two for every man;
spoil of dyed materials for Sisera,
    spoil of dyed materials embroidered,
    two pieces of dyed work embroidered for the neck as spoil?’

31 (B)“So may all your enemies perish, O Lord!
    But your friends be (C)like the sun (D)as he rises in his might.”

(E)And the land had rest for forty years.

    my deadly enemies who (A)surround me.
