28 God has commanded that you should be strong.
God, please show again how strong you are,
    as you have used your strength to help us in past times.
29 As you live in your temple in Jerusalem,
    kings will bring gifts to you.
30 Speak against your enemies!

Some are proud nations,
    like bulls among their young cows.
They must be humble and offer to you
    gifts of valuable silver things.
Chase away those nations that like to fight wars.
