13. figures of doves covered with silver,whose wings glittered with fine gold.(Why did some of you stay among the sheep pens on the day of battle?)

17. With his many thousands of mighty chariotsthe Lord comes from Sinai into the holy place.

20. Our God is a God who saves;he is the Lord, our Lord,who rescues us from death.
21. God will surely break the heads of his enemies,of those who persist in their sinful ways.
22. The Lord has said, “I will bring your enemies back from Bashan;I will bring them back from the depths of the ocean,

24. O God, your march of triumph is seen by all,the procession of God, my king, into his sanctuary.
