at the time of Your appearing.
In His wrath the LORD will engulf them,
and the fire will consume them.

10You will wipe their descendants from the earth,
and their offspring from the sons of men.
10Their fruit You will destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men.
11Though they intend You harm,
the schemes they devise will not prevail.
11For they stretched out against you for evil. They devised a plot; they will not prevail.
12For You will put them to flight
when Your bow is trained upon them.
12For You set them to the shoulder; You prepare Your bowstrings against their faces.
13Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength;
we will sing and praise Your power.
13Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your might.
