You overthrew your adversaries
by your great majesty.
You unleashed your burning wrath;
it consumed them like stubble.(A)
The water heaped up(B) at the blast from your nostrils;
the currents stood firm like a dam.
The watery depths congealed in the heart of the sea.
The enemy said:
“I will pursue, I will overtake,
I will divide the spoil.(C)
My desire will be gratified at their expense.
I will draw my sword;
my hand will destroy[a] them.”

  1. 15:9 Or conquer

And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.

And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
