Psalms 76:7
5 The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.
6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.
You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?
8 From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still
9 when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth. Selah
