17. He will go out into battle determined to defeat his enemies, and use the creation itself as a weapon.
18. Righteousness will be his armour, genuine justice will be his helmet,
19. holiness will be his invincible shield.
20. He will sharpen his stern anger into a sword, and the forces of nature will join him in battle against those who are foolish enough to oppose him.
21. Bolts of lightning will strike right on target, as if the Lord had made a bow out of the clouds and was shooting arrows.
