| 3Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. | 3Your people willingly follow you when you go into battle. On the holy hills at sunrise the dew of your youth belongs to you. |

| 6He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. | 6He executes judgment against the nations; he fills the valleys with corpses; he shatters their heads over the vast battlefield. |
| 7He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. | 7From the stream along the road he drinks; then he lifts up his head. |
