^2 (A)Who stirred up one from the east
    whom victory meets at every ^(B)step?^[a]
(C)He gives up nations before him,
    so that he tramples kings underfoot;
he makes them like dust with his sword,
    ^(D)like driven stubble with his bow.

¹³ O my God, make them like ^(A)whirling dust,^[a]
    like ^(B)chaff before the wind.
