For Yahweh will restore the (A)majesty of Jacob
(B)Like the majesty of Israel,
Even though those who empty them have emptied them to destruction
And (C)ruined their vine branches.

The shields of [a]his mighty men are colored red,
The valiant men are dressed in (D)[b]scarlet,
The chariots are enveloped in [c]flashing steel
[d]When he is set up to march,
And the cypress (E)spears are brandished.
The (F)chariots race madly in the streets;
They rush wildly in the [e]squares;
Their appearance is like torches;
They dash to and fro like lightning flashes.
