5 The stout and valiant men are spoiled, [And] by [the] sleep of death they fall; No men of might could find their hands [In need] to help themselves withal.
5 The stout and valiant men are spoil'd, [And] by [the] sleep of death they fall; No men of might could find their hands [In need] to help themselves withal.
6 When thy rebuke, O Jacob's God, Had once against them [spoke and] past, With them both Horse and Chariot were Into a [fatal] dead sleep cast.
7 Thou, and thou only, glorious God, Art he that all should [greatly] fear; And who can stand before thy face, If [once but] angry thou appear?
8 Thou didst make Judgment heard from heaven, The [subject] earth was still with fear.
