I see God moving across the deserts from Edom,

the Holy One coming from Mount Paran.

His brilliant splendor fills the heavens,

and the earth is filled with his praise.

His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise.

Rays of light flash from his hands,

where his awesome power is hidden.

Pestilence marches before him;

plague follows close behind.

flashing rays came from his hand for him;

And there is the covering of his strength.

Before him went Disease,

God came from Teman,

And the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah.

And there was the hiding of his power.

Before him went the pestilence,

And burning coals went forth at his feet.
