2 Chronicles 20 22 When they began to sing and to praise, YHWH set ambushes in the ways Of the people of Ammon, and Of Moab, and Mount Seir’s land, Who had come against Judah, and They were defeated at their hand. 23 The people of Ammon, Moab Stood up against dwellers not drab Of Mount Seir, completely to kill And destroy, and when to their fill They finished with dwellers of Seir, They killed each other in their fear. 24 When Judah came near the watch tower In the desert, and looked for power At the crowd, see, they were all dead Corpses upon the ground instead, And none escaped that slaughter dread. 25 And when Jehoshaphat with folk Can to take out the spoils in poke, They found a lot of wealth and jewels With the dead bodies of the fools, Which they stripped off to keep but there Was more than they could even bear Away and so it took them three Days to collect abundant fee. Set ambushes, Beloved, for enemy That set themselves in traps surrounding me. Set ambushes, Beloved, as I raise high The Psalms of David up into the sky With melodies long written in their seam, Set ambushes, Beloved and Ælohim. If You could work in days of long ago With sword of word and sword of harp below, Work now once more as I recoup the loss That evil song and dance have turned in dross Among those who claim to praise holy name Of Sovereign and Creator for a game, And I will sing aloud once more the song Of David Your Beloved, and sing it long.
