¹³ Yahweh goes forth like a mighty warrior;
    he stirs up zeal like a man of war.
He raises the war cry, indeed he raises the battle shout;
    he prevails against his foes.
¹⁴ I have been silent for a long time;
    I have kept silent;
I have restrained myself like one giving birth;
    I will moan, pant, and gasp together.
¹⁵ I will cause mountains and hills to dry up,
    and I will cause all their herbage to wither;
and I will make rivers like islands,
    and I will cause pools to dry up.
