WAR SCROLL — COLUMN X WHO IS LIKE YOU, ELOHIM OF ISRAEL? [Modern progressive rock, deep bass, heavy guitars, marching snares and rising brass] [Verse 1 — Yahuah Among the Camps] Keep our camps from shameful nakedness, For Moses taught us long ago, You are among us, great and awesome, Elohim before whom enemies fall. Through every generation Moses taught us, The ancient words we still proclaim, When Israel approaches battle, The priest shall stand and speak again. [Verse 2 — Hear, O Israel] Hear, O Israel, hear the calling! You approach your enemies today! Do not fear, do not lose courage, Do not tremble or be dismayed! For Elohim goes forth beside you, He goes with you against your foes, To fight for you against your enemies, And bring salvation to His own! [Chorus — Full brass, heavy guitars, commanding male harmonies] HEAR, O ISRAEL! DO NOT FEAR! ELOHIM GOES WITH YOU! HE IS NEAR! DO NOT TREMBLE! DO NOT BE DISMAYED! HE WILL FIGHT AGAINST YOUR ENEMIES! HE WILL SAVE! [Verse 3 — Strengthen the Warriors] The officers shall speak before them, To all prepared to go to war, To those whose hearts are freely willing, And those whose courage shall endure. Strengthen them by Elohim's power, Let the faint of heart turn back, Strengthen all the mighty warriors, Together standing in their ranks. [Verse 4 — The Trumpets of Remembrance] And Moses gave another commandment, When enemies attack the land, When the adversary rises against you, Let the trumpets sound at His command! Sound the alarm before Elohim, That He may remember you in war, And you shall be saved from your enemies, As Moses taught the people before. [Chorus — Military brass and thunderous modern rock] SOUND THE TRUMPETS! SOUND THE ALARM! BE REMEMBERED BEFORE ELOHIM! BY HIS MIGHTY ARM! HEAR, O ISRAEL! DO NOT FEAR! ELOHIM GOES WITH YOU! HE IS NEAR! [Verse 5 — The Prayer of the Chief Priest] Who is like You, Elohim of Israel, In the heavens or upon the earth? Who performs Your mighty wonders, Who possesses strength like Yours? Who is like Your people Israel, Chosen from the peoples of the lands? Holy people of the covenant, Taught Your statutes and commands. Enlightened with understanding, Hearing the voice of glory, Seeing the holy angels, Their ears opened to mysteries. [Verse 6 — The Works of Elohim] You established the expanse of heaven, And the hosts of shining lights, The appointed service of the spirits, The dominion of the holy ones. The treasures of Your glory, And the clouds above the land, You created earth and its divisions, By the wisdom of Your hand. [Verse 7 — The Divisions of Creation] The wilderness and open country, All the offspring of the earth, And the fruits that spring among them, Every creature brought forth. The circle of the seas before You, The sources of the rivers flow, The deep places of the waters, And the creatures living below. The beasts that walk upon the earth, The winged creatures of the air, The form of man, his generations, All creation in Your care. [Bridge — Deep bass, soaring guitar, solemn brass] The confusion of the languages, The separation of the nations, The dwellings of the families, The lands of their inheritance. The appointed holy festivals, The cycles of the passing years, The times appointed through the ages, All are known through Your understanding. [Final Chorus — Full modern rock band and military brass] WHO IS LIKE YOU? ELOHIM OF ISRAEL! WHO IS LIKE YOU? IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH! GREAT IN ALL YOUR WONDROUS WORKS! MIGHTY IN YOUR STRENGTH! HEAR, O ISRAEL! DO NOT FEAR! ELOHIM GOES WITH YOU! HE IS NEAR! SOUND THE TRUMPETS! SOUND THE ALARM! BE REMEMBERED BEFORE ELOHIM! AND BE SAVED FROM YOUR ENEMIES! WHO IS LIKE YOU? ELOHIM OF ISRAEL! [Massive guitar and brass finale, sustained organ, final marching drum cadence]
