“Begin a song to my God with tambourines;
    sing to my Lord with cymbals.
Raise to him a new psalm;[a]
    exalt him and call upon his name.(A)
For the Lord is a God who crushes wars;
    he sets up his camp among his people;
    he delivered me from the hands of my pursuers.(B)
The Assyrian came down from the mountains of the north;
    he came with myriads of his warriors;
their numbers blocked up the wadis,
    and their cavalry covered the hills.(C)
