In verses 6-7: References to the mythic foe add to the uneathly terror coming upon the nation. The enemy is a lion, magified into a destroyer of nations. Since God is the one bringing the foe, supernatural foces are arrayed against the nations. In verses 19-22: Although God brings the enemy, God also witnesses the battle with uncontrollable angusih.
