13  ^vYou went out for the salvation of your people,

for the salvation of ^xyour anointed.

^yYou crushed the head of the house of the wicked,

laying him bare from thigh to neck.¹ Selah

14  You pierced with his own arrows the heads of his warriors,

who came like a whirlwind to scatter me,

rejoicing as if to devour the poor in secret.
