13 Yahweh marches out like a warrior.
    He prepares himself for battle like a soldier.
        He shouts, gives the battle cry, and overpowers his enemies.

14 I have been silent for a long time.
    I kept quiet and held myself back.
    But like a woman in childbirth I will cry out.
    I will gasp and pant.
15 I will lay waste to mountains and hills.
    I will dry up all their vegetation.
    I will turn rivers into islands.
    I will dry up ponds.
