I shattered them so that they were not able to rise;
They fell [wounded] under my feet.

“Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out
And the streams overflowed;
Can He give bread also?
Or will He provide meat for His people?”

The wrath of God rose against them
And killed some of the strongest of them,
And subdued the choice young men of Israel.

He killed all the firstborn in Egypt,
The first and best of their strength in the tents [of the land of the sons] of Ham.

He drove His enemies backward;
He subjected them to lasting shame and dishonor.

“I will crush his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him.

He struck their vines also and their fig trees,
And shattered the [ice-laden] trees of their territory.

He also struck down all the firstborn in their land,
The first fruits and chief substance of all their strength.

The sun will not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

Who struck the firstborn of Egypt,
Both of man and animal;

Who struck many nations
And killed mighty kings,

To Him who struck the firstborn of Egypt,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;

To Him who struck down great kings,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;

Let the righteous [thoughtfully] strike (correct) me—it is a kindness [done to encourage my spiritual maturity].
It is [the choicest anointing] oil on the head;
Let my head not refuse [to accept and acknowledge and learn from] it;
For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds.
