8 Our Lord, were you angrywith the monstersof the deep?You attacked in your chariotand wiped them out.
9 Your arrows were readyand obeyed your commands.You split the earth apartwith rivers and streams;
10 mountains trembledat the sight of you;rain poured from the clouds;ocean waves roared and rose.
11 The sun and moon stood still,while your arrows and spearsflashed like lightning.
12 In your furious anger,you trampled on nations
13 to rescue your peopleand save your chosen one.You crushed a nation's rulerand stripped his evil kingdomof its power.
14 His troops had come like a storm,hoping to scatter usand glad to gobble us up.To them we were refugeesin hiding—but you smashed their headswith their own weapons.
