"Godwill not turnbackHis anger;BeneathHim crouchthe helpersof Rahab.
"He quietedthe seawith His power,And by His understandingHe shatteredRahab.
"I shall mentionRahaband Babylonamong those who knowMe; Behold,Philistiaand Tyrewith Ethiopia:'Thisonewas bornthere.'"
You YourselfcrushedRahablike one who is slain;You scatteredYour enemieswith Your mightyarm.
Even Egypt,whose helpis vainand empty.Therefore,I have calledher "Rahabwhohas been exterminated."
On thisaccountthe angerof the LORDhas burnedagainst His people,And He has stretchedout His handagainstthem and struckthem down.And the mountainsquaked,and their corpseslaylike refusein the middleof the streets.For allthisHis angeris not spent,But His handis stillstretchedout.
Awake,awake,puton strength,O armof the LORD;Awakeas in the daysof old,the generationsof longago.Was it not You who cutRahabin pieces,Who piercedthe dragon?
