4. Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the mountains of prey. 5. The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands. 6. At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

More glorious. Verses 4–6 describe the sudden destruction of the invaders.

Mountains of prey. Perhaps thus designated because they are considered as the stronghold of robbers, from which these bandits went forth to plunder. God, who made the mountains, is superior to them in power and glory. The LXX reads, “everlasting mountains.”
