3There he shattered the arrows, the shield, the sword, and the rest of the weapons of war. (Selah) 4You shine brightly and reveal your majesty, as you descend from the hills where you killed your prey. The bravehearted were plundered; they “fell asleep.” All the warriors were helpless. 6At the sound of your battle cry, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse “fell asleep.” 7You are awesome! Yes, you! Who can withstand your intense anger?
