1 Joshua, the son of Nun, was valiant in warfare; he was the successor of Moses among the prophets. He was great in accord with his name,
2 very great in the saving the elect of God. He fought against the insurgent enemies, so that he might obtain the inheritance for Israel.
3 What great glory he secured, by lifting up his hands and throwing his spears against the cities!
4 Who before him has stood so firmly? For the Lord himself led forward the enemies.
5 Was not the sun halted by his wrath, and one day made as if two?
6 He called upon the Most High Power, when the enemies assailed him on every side. And the great and holy God answered him with hailstones of exceedingly great force.
