1 Joshua the son of Nun was valiant in war, And was the successor of Moses in prophecies: Who according to his name was made great For the saving of God’s elect, To take vengeance of the enemies that rose up against them, That he might give Israel their inheritance.
2 How was he glorified in the lifting up his hands, And in stretching out his sword against the cities!
3 Who before him so stood fast? For the Lord himself brought his enemies to him.
4 Did not the sun go back by his hand? And did not one day become as two?
5 He called upon the Most High and Mighty One, When his foes pressed him round about; And the great Lord heard him.
