God comes from Teman,
the Holy One from Mount Paran.(A)Selah
His splendor covers the heavens,
and the earth is full of His praise.(B)
His brilliance is like light;
rays are flashing from His hand.
This is where His power is hidden.
Plague goes before Him,
and pestilence follows in His steps.
He stands and shakes[a] 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[b] in distress;
the tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.
Are You angry at the rivers, Lord?
Is Your wrath against the rivers?
Or is Your rage against the sea
when You ride on Your horses,
Your victorious chariot?
You took the sheath from Your bow;
the arrows are ready[c] to be used with an oath.[d](C)Selah
You split the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains see You and shudder;(D)
a downpour of water sweeps by.
The deep roars with its voice(E)
and lifts its waves[e] high.

God came from Teman,(A)
    the Holy One(B) from Mount Paran.[a](C)
His glory covered the heavens(D)
    and his praise filled the earth.(E)
His splendor was like the sunrise;(F)
    rays flashed from his hand,
    where his power(G) was hidden.
Plague(H) went before him;
    pestilence followed his steps.
He stood, and shook the earth;
    he looked, and made the nations tremble.
The ancient mountains crumbled(I)
    and the age-old hills(J) collapsed(K)
    but he marches on forever.(L)
I saw the tents of Cushan in distress,
    the dwellings of Midian(M) in anguish.(N)

Were you angry with the rivers,(O) Lord?
    Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea(P)
    when you rode your horses
    and your chariots to victory?(Q)
You uncovered your bow,
    you called for many arrows.(R)
You split the earth with rivers;
10     the mountains saw you and writhed.(S)
Torrents of water swept by;
    the deep roared(T)
    and lifted its waves(U) on high.
