- 7And in the greatness of your majesty you have overthrown those who rose up against you: you sent out your wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
- 8And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as a heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
- 9The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the plunder. My lust shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
- 10You blew with your wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
- 11Who is like to you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
- 12You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them.

- 17You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which you have made for you to live in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established.
- 18The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.
