Your right hand, O Lord, wins glory because it is strong. Your right hand, O Lord, smashes your enemies. 7With your unlimited majesty, you destroyed those who attacked you. You sent out your burning anger. It burned them up like straw. 8With a blast from your nostrils, the water piled up. The waves stood up like a dam. The deep water thickened in the middle of the sea.
