O Lord, were You displeased with the rivers,
Was Your anger against the rivers,
Was Your wrath against the sea,
That You rode on Your horses,
Your chariots of salvation?
Your bow was made quite ready;
Oaths were sworn over Your [a]arrows. Selah

You divided the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains saw You and trembled;
The overflowing of the water passed by.
The deep uttered its voice,
And (A)lifted its hands on high.

Were you angry with the rivers,(A) Lord?
    Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea(B)
    when you rode your horses
    and your chariots to victory?(C)
You uncovered your bow,
    you called for many arrows.(D)
You split the earth with rivers;
10     the mountains saw you and writhed.(E)
Torrents of water swept by;
    the deep roared(F)
    and lifted its waves(G) on high.
