³ God camecame from TemanTeman, and the Holy One from mount Paranmount Paran. SelahSelah. His glory coveredcovered the heavensheavens, and the earthearth was fullfull of his praise.

⁴ And his brightness was as the lightlight; he had hornshorns coming out of his handhand; and there was the hiding of his power.

⁵ BeforeBefore him went the pestilencepestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feetfeet.

⁶ He stoodstood, and measuredmeasured the earthearth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nationsnations; and the everlastingeverlasting mountainsmountains were scatteredscattered, the perpetualperpetual hillshills did bow: his waysways are everlastingeverlasting.

⁷ I sawsaw the tentstents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtainscurtains of the landland of MidianMidian trembled.

⁸ Was the LORDthe LORD displeased against the riversrivers? was thy angeranger against the riversrivers? was thy wrathwrath against the seasea, that thou didst rideride upon thy horseshorses, and thy chariots of salvationsalvation?

⁹ Thy bowbow was made quite nakednaked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. SelahSelah. Thou didst cleave the earthearth with riversrivers.

¹⁰ The mountainsmountains sawsaw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the waterwater passedpassed by: the deep uttered his voicevoice, and liftedlifted up his handshands on highhigh.

¹¹ The sunsun and moonmoon stoodstood still in their habitation: at the lightlight of thy arrowsarrows they went, and at the shining of thy glitteringglittering spearspear.

¹² Thou didst march through the landland in indignation, thou didst threshthresh the heathenheathen in angeranger.

¹⁵ Thou didst walk through the seasea with thy horseshorses, through the mire of great waters.

¹⁶ When I heardheard, my bellybelly trembled; my lipslips quivered at the voicevoice: rottenness enteredentered into my bonesbones, and I trembled in myself, that I mightmight rest in the day ofday of trouble: when he comethcometh up to the people, he will invade them with his troops.

¹⁷ Although the figfig-tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the oliveolive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no foodfood; the flockflock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herdherd in the stalls:

¹⁸ Yet I will rejoice in the LORDthe LORD, I will joy in the GodGod of my salvation.

¹⁹ The LORDLORD God is my strength, and he will make my feetfeet like hinds' feetfeet, and he will make me to walk upon my highhigh places. To the chief singer on my stringed instrumentsstringed instruments.
