but has come from a distant land

because of your great name

our kings and leaders,

our priests and prophets,

our ancestors and all your people,

from the days of the Assyrian kings until today.

God is wise and all-powerful.

Who has opposed him and come out unharmed?

How you have helped the powerless

and delivered the arm that is weak!

You have turned against me with cruelty;

you harass me with your strong hand.

Who is this King of glory?

The LORD, strong and mighty,

the LORD, mighty in battle.

The nobles of the peoples have assembled

with the people of the God of Abraham.

For the leaders[fn] of the earth belong to God;

he is greatly exalted.

For strangers rise up against me,

and violent men intend to kill me.

They do not let God guide them.[fn]Selah

Because look, LORD, they set an ambush for me.

Powerful men attack me,

but not because of any sin or rebellion of mine.

I am like a miraculous sign to many,

and you are my strong refuge.

God, arrogant people have attacked me;

a gang of ruthless men intends to kill me.

They do not let you guide them.[fn]

He struck down many nations

and slaughtered mighty kings:

with a strong hand and outstretched arm.

His faithful love endures forever.

and slaughtered famous kings —

His faithful love endures forever.

A sensible person sees danger and takes cover,

but the inexperienced keep going and are punished.

for their Redeemer is strong,

and he will champion their cause against you.

Set me as a seal on your heart,

as a seal on your arm.

For love is as strong as death;

jealousy is as unrelenting as Sheol.

Love’s flames are fiery flames —

an almighty flame![fn]
