He stops. He shakes Earth.

He looks around. Nations tremble.

The age-old mountains fall to pieces;

ancient hills collapse like a spent balloon.

The paths God takes are older

than the oldest mountains and hills.

I saw everyone worried, in a panic:

Old wilderness adversaries,

Cushan and Midian, were terrified,

hoping he wouldn’t notice them.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

He stood and measured the earth;

he looked and shook the nations;

then the eternal mountains were scattered;

the everlasting hills sank low.

His were the everlasting ways.

I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;

the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

He stood, and shook the earth;

he looked, and made the nations tremble.

The ancient mountains crumbled

and the age-old hills collapsed—

but he marches on forever.

I saw the tents of Cushan in distress,

the dwellings of Midian in anguish.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He stands and shakes the earth;

he looks and startles the nations.

The age-old mountains break apart;

the ancient hills sink down.

His pathways are ancient.

I see the tents of Cushan in distress;

the tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.

NLTNew Living Translation

When he stops, the earth shakes.

When he looks, the nations tremble.

He shatters the everlasting mountains

and levels the eternal hills.

He is the Eternal One!

I see the people of Cushan in distress,

and the nation of Midian trembling in terror.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

Under affliction I saw the tents of Cushan;

the tent curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

KJV 1900King James Version

He stood, and measured the earth:

He beheld, and drove asunder the nations;

And the everlasting mountains were scattered,

The perpetual hills did bow:

His ways are everlasting.

I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction:

And the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
