1 Joshua, Nun’s son,was powerful in battle,and he was Moses’ successorin prophecy.As his name suggests,he was mightyto deliver the Lord’s chosen ones,and to take revenge on enemieswhen they rose against them,so that he might give Israelan inheritance.
2 How glorious he waswhen he raised his handsand when he extended his swordagainst cities!
3 Who among those who came beforestood as he did?Indeed, he fought the Lord’s wars.
4 Wasn’t the sun restrained by his hand,and one day lasted for two?
5 He called upon the Most High,the mighty one,when his enemies pressed in on himfrom every side,and the great Lord responded to himwith hailstones of mighty power.
