3 Who could withstand himwhen he fought the battles of the Lord?
4 Was it not by that same hand the sun stopped,so that one day became two?
5 He called upon the Most High Godwhen his enemies beset him on all sides,And God Most High answered himwith hailstones of tremendous power,
6 That rained down upon the hostile armytill on the slope he destroyed the foe;That all the doomed nations might knowthe Lord was watching over his people’s battles.He was indeed a devoted follower of God
7 and showed himself loyal in Moses’ lifetime.He and Caleb, son of Jephunneh,when they opposed the rebel assembly,Averted God’s anger from the peopleand suppressed the wicked complaint.
8 Because of this, these two alone were sparedfrom the six hundred thousand infantry,To lead the people into their heritage,the land flowing with milk and honey.
9 The strength God gave to Calebremained with him even in old ageTill he won his way onto the summits of the land;his family too received a heritage,
