slike driven stubble with his bow.

and subdues kings before him.

He turns them to dust with his sword,

to windblown chaff with his bow.

like wind-driven stubble with his bow.

NLTNew Living Translation

“Who has stirred up this king from the east,

rightly calling him to God’s service?

Who gives this man victory over many nations

and permits him to trample their kings underfoot?

With his sword, he reduces armies to dust.

With his bow, he scatters them like chaff before the wind.

gives nations in his presence,

and subjugates kings?

like scattered stubble with his bow.

Who raised up the righteous man from the east,

Called him to his foot,

Gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings?

And as driven stubble to his bow.
