He will keep the feet of his Saints, and the wicked shall keep silence in darkness: for in his own might shall no man be strong.

10 The Lord’s adversaries shall be destroyed, and out of heaven shall he (B)thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the world, and shall give power unto his [c]King, and exalt the horn of his Anointed.
