^4 (A)For the yoke of his burden,
    ^(B)and the staff for his shoulder,
    the rod of his oppressor,
    you have broken as ^(C)on the day of Midian.

¹⁸ The nations raged,
    but ^(A)your wrath came,
    and ^(B)the time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,
    and ^(C)those who fear your name,
    both small and great,
and ^(D)for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”

⁷ I saw the tents of ^(A)Cushan in affliction;
    ^(B)the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
^8 (C)Was your wrath against the rivers, O Lord?
    Was your anger against the rivers,
    ^(D)or your indignation against the sea,
^(E)when you rode on your horses,
    ^(F)on your chariot of salvation?
⁹ You stripped the sheath from your bow,
    calling for many arrows.^[a] Selah
    ^(G)You split the earth with rivers.
^10 (H)The mountains saw you and writhed;
    the raging waters swept on;
^(I)the deep gave forth its voice;
    ^(J)it lifted its hands on high.
^11 (K)The sun and moon stood still in their place
    ^(L)at the light of your arrows as they sped,
    at the flash of your glittering spear.
^12 (M)You marched through the earth in fury;
    ^(N)you threshed the nations in anger.
^13 (O)You went out for the salvation of your people,
    for the salvation of ^(P)your anointed.
^(Q)You crushed the head of the house of the wicked,
    laying him bare from thigh to neck.^[b] 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 (R)You trampled the sea with your horses,
    the surging of mighty waters.
