² Be a breastplate to me, and give me your help.

³ The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

¹³ The Lord will go out as a man of war, he will be moved to wrath like a fighting-man: his voice will be strong, he will give a loud cry; he will go against his attackers like a man of war.

⁴¹ If I make sharp my shining sword, and my hand is outstretched for judging, I will give punishment to those who are against me, and their right reward to my haters.

⁴² I will make my arrows red with blood, my sword will be feasting on flesh, with the blood of the dead and the prisoners, of the long-haired heads of my haters.

¹² If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.

¹³ He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.

⁴ You will be covered by his feathers; under his wings you will be safe: his good faith will be your salvation.

⁵ They come from a far country, from the farthest part of heaven, even the Lord and the instruments of his wrath, with destruction for all the land.
