14 [a]You pierced his head with your shafts;
    his princes you scattered with your stormwind,
    as food for the poor in unknown places.
15 You trampled the sea with your horses
    amid the churning of the deep waters.

16 I hear, and my body trembles;
    at the sound, my lips quiver.
Decay invades my bones,
    my legs tremble beneath me.
I await the day of distress
    that will come upon the people who attack us.

  1. 3:14 The last two lines of this verse are obscure in Hebrew and difficult to translate.

14 With his own spear you pierced his head
    when his warriors stormed out to scatter us,(A)
gloating as though about to devour
    the wretched(B) who were in hiding.
15 You trampled the sea(C) with your horses,
    churning the great waters.(D)

16 I heard and my heart pounded,
    my lips quivered at the sound;
decay crept into my bones,
    and my legs trembled.(E)
Yet I will wait patiently(F) for the day of calamity
    to come on the nation invading us.
