  1. 7They run like mighty men.
    They climb the wall like warriors.
    They each march in his line, and they don’t swerve off course.

    they march everyone in his path,
    and they burst through the defenses,
    and don’t break ranks.

    The heavens tremble.
    The sun and the moon are darkened,
    and the stars withdraw their shining.

    for his forces are very great;
    for he is strong who obeys his command;
    for the day of Yahweh is great and very awesome,
    and who can endure it?
