⁸ O Lord, were You displeased with the rivers,
Was Your anger against the rivers,
Was Your wrath against the sea,
That You rode on Your horses,
Your chariots of salvation?

⁶ “O you ^(A)sword of the Lord,
How long until you are quiet?
Put yourself up into your scabbard,
Rest and be still!
⁷ How can ^[a]it be quiet,
Seeing the Lord has ^(B)given it a charge
Against Ashkelon and against the seashore?
There He has ^(C)appointed it.”
