Behold, they are coming up the ascent of Ziz. And you will find them at the end of the valley facing the desert of Jeruel. ¹⁷ There will be no need for you to fight in this battle. Take your stand!

³¹ A horse is prepared for the day of battle, but to Yahweh belongs the victory.

¹⁶ and you said,
"No! For we will flee on horses!"* Therefore you shall flee! And, "We will ride on swift horses!"* Therefore your pursuers shall be swift!

¹ Ah! Those who go down to Egypt for help!
They rely on horses
and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very numerous, and they do not look to the holy one of Israel, and they do not consult Yahweh.

⁵ Thus says Yahweh,
"Cursed is the person who trusts in humankind and makes flesh his _⌊strength_⌋,* and turns aside his heart from Yahweh.

³¹ So may all your enemies perish, O Yahweh, but those who love him are like the rising sun at its brightest."

Yahweh sets prisoners free; ⁸ Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind; Yahweh raises up those bowed down; Yahweh loves the righteous; ⁹ Yahweh protects* the strangers. He helps up the orphan and the widow, but the way of the wicked he _⌊thwarts_⌋.*

⁷ Blessed be the person who trusts in Yahweh, and Yahweh is his trust. ⁸ For he will be like a tree planted by water, and to the stream it sends its roots, and it will not fear when heat comes, and its leaves* will be luxuriant, and in the year of drought it will not be anxious, and it will not cease from the bearing of fruit.

Like a potter's vessel you will shatter them." ¹⁰ So then, O kings, be wise. Be warned, O rulers of the earth.

⁷ Rise up, O Yahweh; deliver me, O my God; for you strike all my enemies on the cheek. The teeth of the wicked you break.

² Listen to the sound of my pleading,* my king and my God, for to you I pray.

⁶ As for me, I have called on you because you will answer me, O God. Incline your ear to me. Hear my words.*

⁷ Lift up your heads, O gates, and rise up, O ancient doorways, that the king of glory* may enter.

⁴ You are my king, O God. Command* victories for Jacob.

¹² But God has been my king from long ago, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

²⁵ O Yahweh, please save; O Yahweh, please grant success. ²⁶ Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh. We bless you* from the house* of Yahweh.
