LEBThe Lexham English Bible

How could one chase a thousand

and two could cause a myriad to flee,

if their Rock had not sold them,

and Yahweh had not given them up?

For the fact of the matter is,

their rock is not like our Rock,

and our enemies recognize this.

Except their Rock had sold them,

And the Lord had shut them up?

Even our enemies themselves being judges.
