11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation,
At the light of thine arrows as they went,
At the shining of thy glittering spear.
12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation;
Thou didst thresh the nations in anger.
13 Thou [a]wentest forth for the salvation of thy people,
[b]For the salvation of thine anointed;
[c]Thou [d]woundest the head out of the house of the wicked man,
Laying bare the foundation even unto the neck. Selah
