The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone. 6Your right hand, Lord, was majestic in power. Your right hand, Lord, shattered the enemy. 7“In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble.
