1 One who scatters has come up against you; guard the rampart, Watch the road, brace yourselves, marshal all your strength! 2 The LORD will restore the vine of Jacob, the honor of Israel, Because ravagers have ravaged them and ruined their branches. 3 The shields of his warriors are crimsoned, the soldiers clad in scarlet; Like fire are the trappings of the chariots on the day he prepares for war; the cavalry is agitated! 4 The chariots dash madly through the streets and wheel in the squares, Looking like torches, bolting like lightning. 5 His picked troops are called, ranks break at their charge; To the wall they rush, their screen is set up.
