13 (A)The Lord goes out like a mighty man,
    like a man of war (B)he stirs up his zeal;
he cries out, (C)he shouts aloud,
    he shows himself mighty against his foes.

14 For a long time I have held my peace;
    I have kept still and restrained myself;
now I will cry out (D)like a woman in labor;
    I will gasp and pant.
15 (E)I will lay waste mountains and hills,
    and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn the rivers into islands,[a]
    and dry up the pools.
