11 The sun and the moon lost their brightness.
    They stopped shining when they saw your bright flashes of lightning.
    That lightning was like spears and arrows shooting through the air.
12 In anger you walked on the earth
    and punished the nations.
13 You came to save your people
    and to lead your chosen king[a] to victory.
You killed the leader in every evil family,
    from the least important person
    to the most important in the land.[b] Selah
