²⁴ And it cometh to pass, when they bring out these kings unto Joshua, that Joshua calleth unto every man of Israel, and saith unto the captains of the men of war, who have gone with him, `Draw near, set your feet on the necks of these kings;' and they draw near, and set their feet on their necks.

³ And ye have trodden down the wicked, For they are ashes under the soles of your feet, In the day that I am appointing, Said Jehovah of Hosts.

¹ A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

²⁶ and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations,

²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron -- as the vessels of the potter they shall be broken -- as I also have received from my Father;

²⁰ and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ `be' with you. Amen!

¹¹ And opened have thy gates continually, By day and by night they are not shut, To bring unto thee the force of nations, Even their kings are led.

¹² For the nation and the kingdom that do not serve thee perish, Yea, the nations are utterly wasted.

⁵ For He bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high He maketh low, He maketh it low unto the earth, He causeth it to come unto the dust,

⁶ Tread it down doth a foot, Feet of the poor -- steps of the weak.

⁸ To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

⁹ To do among them the judgment written, An honour it `is' for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!

⁵ The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger.

⁴⁰ He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to wander in vacancy -- no way.

¹³ On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon.

⁴⁰ As to mine enemies -- Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me -- I cut them off.

⁸ Ask of Me and I give nations -- thy inheritance, And thy possession -- the ends of earth.

⁹ Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'

¹⁰ And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,

¹¹ Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

¹² Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!

²⁰ And he saith to Jether his first-born, `Rise, slay them;' and the young man hath not drawn his sword, for he hath been afraid, for he `is' yet a youth.

²⁹ O thy happiness, O Israel! who is like thee? A people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And He who `is' the sword of thine excellency: And thine enemies are subdued for thee, And thou on their high places dost tread.'
