Arise,O LORD,confronthim, bringhim low;Delivermy soulfrom the wickedwith Your sword,
Riseup, be our help,And redeemus for the sakeof Your lovingkindness.
ArouseYourself, whydo You sleep,O Lord?Awake,do not rejectus forever.
Arise,O LORD,in Your anger;Liftup Yourself against the rageof my adversaries,And arouseYourself for me; You have appointedjudgment.
Arise,O LORD;saveme, O my God!For You have smittenallmy enemieson the cheek;You have shatteredthe teethof the wicked.

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?
"Have you not heard?LongagoI didit, From ancienttimesI plannedit. NowI have broughtit to pass,That you should turnfortifiedcitiesinto ruinousheaps.
They are comingfrom a farcountry,From the farthesthorizons,The LORDand His instrumentsof indignation,To destroythe wholeland.
Is the axeto boastitself overthe one who chopswith it? Is the sawto exaltitself overthe one who wieldsit? [That would be] like a clubwieldingthose who liftit, [Or] like a rodlifting[him who] is not wood.
Woeto Assyria,the rodof My angerAnd the staffin whose handsis My indignation,
