When God showed his anger, the servants of the sea monster fell at his feet.
By his power and wisdom, God conquered the force of the mighty ocean.
Egypt, Babylonia, Philistia, Phoenicia, and Ethiopia are some of those nations that know you, and their people all say, "I was born in Zion."
You crushed the monster Rahab, and with your powerful arm you scattered your enemies.
Egypt can't help you! That's why I call that nation a helpless monster.
You are the LORD's people, but you made him terribly angry, and he struck you with his mighty arm. Mountains shook, and dead bodies covered the streets like garbage. The LORD is still angry, and he is ready to strike you again.
Wake up! Do something, LORD. Be strong and ready. Wake up! Do what you did for our people long ago. Didn't you chop up Rahab the monster?
