God comes from Teman[a]
    the Holy One from Mount Paran.[b]
Interlude
His glory spreads throughout the heavens,
    and praises about him fill the earth.

    beams of light shine[c] from his hand,
        where his strength lays hidden.
Before him pestilence walks,
    and disease follows behind him.[d]
