[mockery] [and] [derision] [for] [the mighty men] [...] for our majestic one is holy, and the King of glory is with us, and [the army] [of his spirits] [with] [our steps] [and] [our horsemen]
[Like] [clouds] [and] [like] [thick] [dew] to cover the earth, and like a downpour of showers to water judgment for [all] [her offspring] [...] [Arise], [O mighty one]
[Take] [your captives], [O man] [of glory], [and] carry off your spoil, you who do valiantly, [...] put your hand on the neck of your enemies and [your foot] [upon] [the heights of]
[the slain] [...] [Smite] the nations, your adversaries, and let your sword devour flesh [...] fill your land with glory and your inheritance with blessing [...] [a multitude of] [cattle]
[in] [your portions], [silver] [and] [gold] in your palaces [...] Zion, rejoice greatly, and let all the cities of [Judah] cry out for joy [...] [open]
[your gates] [continually] [to] [bring] [to you] the wealth of the nations [...] and their kings shall serve you and bow down to you, [all] [your oppressors]
[and] [the dust] [of your feet] [they shall lick] [...] [O daughters] of my people, break forth in a voice of singing [...] adorn yourselves with ornaments of glory and [have dominion] over a kingdom
[...] [for] your camps, and Israel for an everlasting kingdom [...]
[And] [afterward] [they shall gather] [the] [camp] [on] [that] [night] to rest until the morning [...] and in the morning they shall come to the place of the battle line
[where] [there fell] there [the mighty men] of the Kittim and the multitude of Asshur and the army of all the nations who are assembled, whether [they have died], [most of] the slain
[with] [no] [burial], [who] fell there by the sword of God [...] and there shall approach the [chief] priest, [and] [his deputy], and his brothers [the] [priests]
[and] [the] [Levites] [with] [the prince] [of] the war, and all the heads of the battle lines and [their appointed men] [...]
[...] [together] [as] [they stand] [over] [the slain] [of] [the Kittim] [and] [they shall praise] there [the] God of [Israel] [...] [and] [they shall answer] [and] [say] [...]
[...] [to] [God] [Most High] [and] [to] [...]
