12 But God is my King from long ago;

he brings salvation on the earth.

13 It was you who split open the sea by your power;

you broke the heads of the monster in the waters.

14 It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan

and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert.

15 It was you who opened up springs and streams;

you dried up the ever-flowing rivers.

16 The day is yours, and yours also the night;

you established the sun and moon.

17 It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth;

you made both summer and winter.

12 For God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth. 13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. 14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, And gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness. 15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: Thou driedst up mighty rivers. 16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun. 17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter.

12 You, O God, are my king from ages past,

bringing salvation to the earth.

13 You split the sea by your strength

and smashed the heads of the sea monsters.

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan

and let the desert animals eat him.

15 You caused the springs and streams to gush forth,

and you dried up rivers that never run dry.

16 Both day and night belong to you;

you made the starlight and the sun.

17 You set the boundaries of the earth,

and you made both summer and winter.

12 For God is my King from of old,

Working salvation in the midst of the earth.

13 You divided the sea by Your strength;

You broke the heads of the sea serpents in the waters.

14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces,

And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

15 You broke open the fountain and the flood;

You dried up mighty rivers.

16 The day is Yours, the night also is Yours;

You have prepared the light and the sun.

17 You have set all the borders of the earth;

You have made summer and winter.

12 God, you have been our king for a long time.

You bring salvation to the earth.

13 You split open the sea by your power

and broke the heads of the sea monster.

14 You smashed the heads of the monster Leviathan

and gave it to the desert creatures as food.

15 You opened up the springs and streams

and made the flowing rivers run dry.

16 Both the day and the night are yours;

you made the sun and the moon.

17 You set all the limits on the earth;

you created summer and winter.

12 Yet God is my King of old,

Working salvation in the midst of the earth.

13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength:

Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.

14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces;

Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

15 Thou didst cleave fountain and flood:

Thou driedst up mighty rivers.

16 The day is thine, the night also is thine:

Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth:

Thou hast made summer and winter.

12 But God is my king of old, accomplishing deliverances in the midst of the earth. 13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou didst break the heads of the monsters on the waters: 14 Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert. 15 Thou didst cleave fountain and torrent, thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers. 16 The day is thine, the night also is thine; thou hast prepared the moon and the sun: 17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; summer and winter—thou didst form them.

12 And yet, from long ago God has been my king, 

the one who has been victorious throughout the earth. 

13 You stirred up the sea with your own strength. 

You smashed the heads of sea monsters in the water. 

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan 

and gave them to the creatures of the desert for food. 

15 You opened the springs and brooks. 

You dried up the ever-flowing rivers. 

16 The day and the night are yours. 

You set the moon and the sun in their places. 

17 You determined all the boundaries of the earth. 

You created summer and winter. 

12 God my King is from ancient times,

performing saving acts on the earth.

13 You divided the sea with Your strength;

You smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the waters;

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan;

You fed him to the creatures of the desert.

15 You opened up springs and streams;

You dried up ever-flowing rivers.

16 The day is Yours, also the night;

You established the moon and the sun.

17 You set all the boundaries of the earth;

You made summer and winter.

12 Yet God my King is from of old,

working salvation in the earth.

13 You divided the sea by your might;

you broke the heads of the dragons in the waters.

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan;

you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

15 You cut openings for springs and torrents;

you dried up ever-flowing streams.

16 Yours is the day, yours also the night;

you established the luminaries and the sun.

17 You have fixed all the bounds of the earth;

you made summer and winter.

12 But God has been my king from long ago,

working salvation in the midst of the earth.

13 You split open the sea by your strength;

You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan;

you gave him as food to the desert dwelling creatures.

15 You split open spring and wadi.

You dried up ever-flowing rivers.

16 Yours is the day, yours is the night also.

You established light and the sun.

17 You defined all the boundaries of the earth;

Summer and winter—you formed them.

12 God, you have been my king for a long time.

The whole earth has seen you save us over and over again.

13 You parted the Red Sea by your power.

You broke the heads of that sea monster in Egypt.

14 You crushed the heads of the sea monster Leviathan.

You fed it to the creatures of the desert.

15 You opened up streams and springs.

You dried up rivers that flow all year long.

16 You rule over the day and the night.

You created the sun and the moon.

17 You decided where the borders of the earth would be.

You made both summer and winter.

12 Yet God is my king from of old,

Who works deeds of deliverance in the midst of the earth.

13 You divided the sea by Your strength;

You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan;

You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

15 You broke open springs and torrents;

You dried up ever-flowing streams.

16 Yours is the day, Yours also is the night;

You have prepared the light and the sun.

17 You have established all the boundaries of the earth;

You have made summer and winter.
