2_O LORD, I have heard the report of You;
I stand in awe, O LORD, of Your deeds.
Revive them in these years;
make them known in these years.
In Your wrath, remember mercy!
3_God came from Teman,
and the Holy One from Mount Paran.
His glory covered the heavens,
and His praise filled the earth.
4_His radiance was like the sunlight;
rays flashed from His hand,
where His power is hidden.
5_Plague went before Him,
and fever followed in His steps.
6_He stood and measured the earth;
He looked and startled the nations;
the ancient mountains crumbled;
the perpetual hills collapsed.
His ways are everlasting.
7_I saw the tents of Cushan in distress;
the curtains of Midian were trembling.
8_Were You angry at the rivers, O LORD?
Was Your wrath against the streams?
Did You rage against the sea
when You rode on Your horses,
on Your chariots of salvation?
9_You brandished Your bow;
You called for many arrows.
You split the earth with rivers.
10_The mountains saw You and quaked;
torrents of water swept by.
The deep roared with its voice
and lifted its hands on high.
11_Sun and moon stood still
in their places
at the flash of Your flying arrows,
at the brightness of Your shining spear.
12_You marched across the earth with fury;
You threshed the nations in wrath.
13_You went forth for the salvation of Your people,
to save Your anointed.
You crushed the head of the house of the wicked
and stripped him from head to toe.
14_With his own spear You pierced his head,
when his warriors stormed out to scatter us,
gloating as though ready
to secretly devour the weak.
15_You trampled the sea with Your horses,
churning the great waters.
16_I heard and trembled within;
my lips quivered at the sound.
Decay entered my bones;
I trembled where I stood.
Yet I must wait patiently for the day of distress
to come upon the people who invade us.
17_Though the fig tree does not bud
and no fruit is on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though the sheep are cut off from the fold
and no cattle are in the stalls,
18_yet I will exult in the LORD;
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
19_GOD the Lord is my strength;
He makes my feet like those of a deer;
He makes me walk upon the heights!
