¹⁶ Samuel said, Why then do you ask of me, seeing Yahweh is departed from you, and is become your adversary?

³¹ So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh: But let those who love him be as the sun when he goes forth in his might. The land had rest forty years.

²⁷ He said, If Yahweh doesn't help you, whence shall I help you? out of the threshing floor, or out of the winepress?

¹ > Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered! Let them who hate him also flee before him.

² As smoke is driven away, So drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

³ But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.

⁶ I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!
