⁴ For the yoke of their burden
    and the bar across their shoulders,
    the rod of their oppressor,
    you have broken as on the day of Midian.^(A)

¹⁸ The nations raged,
    but your wrath has come,
    and the time for judging the dead,
for rewarding your servants, the prophets
    and saints and all who fear your name,
    both small and great,
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”^(A)

⁷ I saw the tents of Cushan under affliction;
    the tent curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
⁸ Was your wrath against the rivers,^[a] O Lord,
    or your anger against the rivers^[b]
    or your rage against the sea,^[c]
when you drove your horses,
    your chariots to victory?^(A)
9 You brandished your naked bow;
    sated^[d] were the arrows at your command.^[e] Selah
    You split the earth with rivers.^(B)
10 The mountains saw you and writhed;
    a torrent of water swept by;
the deep gave forth its voice.
    The sun raised high its hands;^(C)
11 the moon stood still in its exalted place,
    at the light of your arrows speeding by,
    at the gleam of your flashing spear.^(D)
12 In fury you marched on the earth;
    in anger you trampled nations.^(E)
13 You came forth to save your people,
    to save your anointed.
You crushed the head of the wicked house,
    laying it bare from foundation to roof.^[f] Selah^(F)
14 You pierced with their^[g] own arrows the head of his warriors,^[h]
    who came like a whirlwind to scatter us,^[i]
    gloating as if ready to devour the poor who were in hiding.
¹⁵ You trampled the sea with your horses,
    churning the mighty waters.^(G)
