²⁷ The most ancient God is a place of safety;^[a]
    the eternal arms are a support.^[b]
He drove out the enemy before you.
    He commanded: “Destroy them!”
²⁸ So Israel now lives in safety—
    Jacob’s residence^[c] is secure—
        in a land full of grain and wine,
            where the heavens drip dew.
²⁹ Happy are you, Israel! Who is like you?
    You are a people saved by the Lord!
He’s the shield that helps you,
    your majestic sword!
Your enemies will come crawling on their knees to you,
    but you will stomp on their backs!^[d]
