((اللَّهُمَّ مُنْزِلَ الْكِتَابِ، سَرِيعَ الْحِسَابِ، اهْزِمِ الأَحْزَابَ، اللَّهُمَّ اهزِمْهُمْ وَزَلْزِلْهُمْ)).
(Allahumma munzilal-kitab, sareeAAal-hisab, ihzimil-ahzab, allahummah-zimhum wazalzilhum.)
(O Allah, Revealer of the Book, Swift at reckoning, defeat the confederates. O Allah, defeat them and convulse them.)

Two titles are given before anything is asked: Revealer of the Book, and Swift at reckoning. Both concern judgement rather than power in battle. The request that follows is a single word carried across two sentences — defeat — first naming its object as the confederates, then reducing them to a pronoun. One further verb is added at the very end, convulse, and nothing follows it.
Muslim records this from Ibn Abu Aufa, said against an enemy.
The second sentence says less than the first and asks for more. It drops the titles, drops the name of the enemy, and adds a verb the first did not have.
