Psalms

Psalm 76:3–6

³There He shattered the flaming arrows,

the shield and sword and weapons of war.

Selah

⁴You are resplendent with light,

more majestic than mountains filled with game.

⁵The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep.

No men of might could lift a hand.

⁶At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

both horse and rider lie stunned.
