3 God came from Teman;

the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah

His splendor covers the heavens,

and his praise fills the earth.

4 And his brightness was like the light;

flashing rays came from his hand for him;

And there is the covering of his strength.

5 Before him went Disease,a

and Pestilenceb went out at his feet.

6 He stood and measured the earth;

he looked and made the nations tremble.

Then the mountains of old were shattered;

the hills of old collapsed.

The ways of old belong to him.

7 Under affliction I saw the tents of Cushan;

the tent curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

8 Was the anger of Yahweh against the rivers?

Was your wrath against the rivers,

or your fury against the sea,

when you mounted upon your horses,

upon your victory chariot?

9 You laid bare the nakedness of your bow,

swearing oaths with the arrows of your word.

You split the earth with rivers.

10 When the mountains saw you they writhed;

a torrent of waters swept by;

the deep gave its voice;

it raised its hands on high.

11 Sun and moon stood still in their place;

at the light of your arrows they moved about;

at the gleam of the flashing of your spear.

12 In fury you marched through the earth;

in anger you trampled the nations.

13 You went forth for the salvation of your people,

for the salvation of your anointed.

You crushed the head of the house of wickedness,

laying bare from the foundation to the top.c

14 You pierced the head of his warriors with his own arrows;

they came like a whirlwind to scatter me,

their exultation like one who devours the afflicted in ambush.

15 You trampled upon the sea with your horses,

the churning of many waters.
