Did Yahweh's _fury_ burn against the rivers, Or _was_ Your anger against the rivers, Or _was_ Your wrath against the sea, That You rode on Your horses, On Your chariots of salvation?
|
|
|

Your bow was made bare; Rods were sworn _unto battle_ by word. Selah. You split the earth with rivers.

The mountains saw You _and_ writhed; The downpour of waters passed by. The deep gave forth its voice; It lifted high its hands.

Sun _and_ moon stood in their lofty places; They went away at the light of Your arrows, At the brightness of Your flashing spear.

In indignation You marched through the earth; In anger You trampled the nations.

You went forth for the salvation of Your people, For salvation with Your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked To lay him bare from thigh to neck. Selah.

You pierced with his own _sharpened_ rods The head of his throngs. They stormed in to scatter us; Their exultation _was_ like those Who devour the afflicted in secret.

You tread on the sea with Your horses, On the surge of many waters.

I heard, and my inward parts trembled; At the sound my lips tingled. Decay enters my bones, And in my place I tremble. Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress, For the people to arise _who_ will invade us.

Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no produce on the vines, _Though_ the yield of the olive should fail And the fields yield no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls,

Yet I will exult in Yahweh; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.

Yahweh, the Lord, is my strength, And He has set my feet like hinds' _feet_ And makes me tread on my high places. For the choir director, on my stringed instruments.
