“‘You are like a lion^(B) among the nations;
    you are like a monster^(C) in the seas^(D)
thrashing about in your streams,
    churning the water with your feet
    and muddying the streams.^(E)

¹³ It was you who split open the sea^(A) by your power;
    you broke the heads of the monster^(B) in the waters.
¹⁴ It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan^(C)
    and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert.^(D)

the Lord will punish with his sword^(B)—
    his fierce, great and powerful sword—
Leviathan^(C) the gliding serpent,^(D)
    Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster^(E) of the sea.

⁹ Awake, awake,^(A) arm^(B) of the Lord,
    clothe yourself with strength!^(C)
Awake, as in days gone by,
    as in generations of old.^(D)
Was it not you who cut Rahab^(E) to pieces,
    who pierced that monster^(F) through?
