² O Lord, ^(A)I have heard the report of you,
    and ^(B)your work, O Lord, do I fear.
In the midst of the years ^(C)revive it;
    in the midst of the years make it known;
    ^(D)in wrath remember mercy.
³ God came from ^(E)Teman,
    ^(F)and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah
His splendor covered the heavens,
    and the earth was full of his praise.
^4 (G)His brightness was like the light;
    rays flashed from his hand;
    and there he veiled his power.
^5 (H)Before him went pestilence,
    and plague followed ^(I)at his heels.^[a]
6 He stood ^(J)and measured the earth;
    he looked and shook the nations;
then the ^(K)eternal mountains ^(L)were scattered;
    the everlasting hills sank low.
    His were ^(M)the everlasting ways.
⁷ I saw the tents of ^(N)Cushan in affliction;
    ^(O)the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
^8 (P)Was your wrath against the rivers, O Lord?
    Was your anger against the rivers,
    ^(Q)or your indignation against the sea,
^(R)when you rode on your horses,
    ^(S)on your chariot of salvation?
⁹ You stripped the sheath from your bow,
    calling for many arrows.^[b] Selah
    ^(T)You split the earth with rivers.
^10 (U)The mountains saw you and writhed;
    the raging waters swept on;
^(V)the deep gave forth its voice;
    ^(W)it lifted its hands on high.
^11 (X)The sun and moon stood still in their place
    ^(Y)at the light of your arrows as they sped,
    at the flash of your glittering spear.
^12 (Z)You marched through the earth in fury;
    ^(AA)you threshed the nations in anger.
^13 (AB)You went out for the salvation of your people,
    for the salvation of ^(AC)your anointed.
^(AD)You crushed the head of the house of the wicked,
    laying him bare from thigh to neck.^[c] Selah
¹⁴ You pierced with his own arrows the heads of his warriors,
    who came like a whirlwind to scatter me,
    rejoicing as if to devour the poor in secret.
^15 (AE)You trampled the sea with your horses,
    the surging of mighty waters.

^16 (AF)I hear, and ^(AG)my body trembles;
    my lips quiver at the sound;
^(AH)rottenness enters into my bones;
    my legs tremble beneath me.
Yet ^(AI)I will quietly wait for the day of trouble
    to come upon people who invade us.

^(AO)To the choirmaster: with ^(AP)stringed^[d] instruments.

^8 (R)Rejoice not over me, O ^(S)my enemy;
    ^(T)when I fall, I shall rise;
^(U)when I sit in darkness,
    the Lord will be a light to me.
^9 (V)I will bear the indignation of the Lord
    because I have sinned against him,
until ^(W)he pleads my cause
    and executes judgment for me.
^(X)He will bring me out to the light;
    I shall look upon his vindication.
¹⁰ Then ^(Y)my enemy will see,
    and shame will cover her who ^(Z)said to me,
    “Where is the Lord your God?”
^(AA)My eyes will look upon her;
    now she will be trampled down
    ^(AB)like the mire of the streets.

^11 (AC)A day for the building of your walls!
    In that day the boundary shall be far extended.
¹² In that day they^[b] will come to you,
    ^(AD)from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
and from Egypt to ^(AE)the River,^{[c]
    (AF)}from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
¹³ But ^(AG)the earth will be desolate
    because of its inhabitants,
    for the fruit of their deeds.

^14 (AH)Shepherd your people ^(AI)with your staff,
    the flock of your inheritance,
who dwell alone in a forest
    ^(AJ)in the midst of ^(AK)a garden land;^[d]
let them graze in Bashan and Gilead
    as in the days of old.
^15 (AL)As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,
    I will show them^[e] marvelous things.
^16 (AM)The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might;
^(AN)they shall lay their hands on their mouths;
    their ears shall be deaf;
^17 (AO)they shall lick the dust like a serpent,
    like the crawling things of the earth;
^(AP)they shall come trembling out of their strongholds;
    ^(AQ)they shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,
    and they shall be in fear of you.
