I see God moving across the deserts from Edom,[a]
    the Holy One coming from Mount Paran.[b]
His brilliant splendor fills the heavens,
    and the earth is filled with his praise.
His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise.
    Rays of light flash from his hands,
    where his awesome power is hidden.
Pestilence marches before him;
    plague follows close behind.
When he stops, the earth shakes.
    When he looks, the nations tremble.
He shatters the everlasting mountains
    and levels the eternal hills.
    He is the Eternal One![c]
I see the people of Cushan in distress,
    and the nation of Midian trembling in terror.

Was it in anger, Lord, that you struck the rivers
    and parted the sea?
Were you displeased with them?
    No, you were sending your chariots of salvation!
You brandished your bow
    and your quiver of arrows.
    You split open the earth with flowing rivers.
10 The mountains watched and trembled.
    Onward swept the raging waters.
The mighty deep cried out,
    lifting its hands in submission.
11 The sun and moon stood still in the sky
    as your brilliant arrows flew
    and your glittering spear flashed.

12 You marched across the land in anger
    and trampled the nations in your fury.
13 You went out to rescue your chosen people,
    to save your anointed ones.
You crushed the heads of the wicked
    and stripped their bones from head to toe.
14 With his own weapons,
    you destroyed the chief of those
who rushed out like a whirlwind,
    thinking Israel would be easy prey.
15 You trampled the sea with your horses,
    and the mighty waters piled high.

16 I trembled inside when I heard this;
    my lips quivered with fear.
My legs gave way beneath me,[d]
    and I shook in terror.
I will wait quietly for the coming day
    when disaster will strike the people who invade us.
17 Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
    and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
    and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
    and the cattle barns are empty,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
    I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength!
    He makes me as surefooted as a deer,[e]
    able to tread upon the heights.

God came from Teman,(A)
    the Holy One(B) from Mount Paran.[a](C)
His glory covered the heavens(D)
    and his praise filled the earth.(E)
His splendor was like the sunrise;(F)
    rays flashed from his hand,
    where his power(G) was hidden.
Plague(H) went before him;
    pestilence followed his steps.
He stood, and shook the earth;
    he looked, and made the nations tremble.
The ancient mountains crumbled(I)
    and the age-old hills(J) collapsed(K)
    but he marches on forever.(L)
I saw the tents of Cushan in distress,
    the dwellings of Midian(M) in anguish.(N)

Were you angry with the rivers,(O) Lord?
    Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea(P)
    when you rode your horses
    and your chariots to victory?(Q)
You uncovered your bow,
    you called for many arrows.(R)
You split the earth with rivers;
10     the mountains saw you and writhed.(S)
Torrents of water swept by;
    the deep roared(T)
    and lifted its waves(U) on high.

11 Sun and moon stood still(V) in the heavens
    at the glint of your flying arrows,(W)
    at the lightning(X) of your flashing spear.
12 In wrath you strode through the earth
    and in anger you threshed(Y) the nations.
13 You came out(Z) to deliver(AA) your people,
    to save your anointed(AB) one.
You crushed(AC) the leader of the land of wickedness,
    you stripped him from head to foot.
14 With his own spear you pierced his head
    when his warriors stormed out to scatter us,(AD)
gloating as though about to devour
    the wretched(AE) who were in hiding.
15 You trampled the sea(AF) with your horses,
    churning the great waters.(AG)

16 I heard and my heart pounded,
    my lips quivered at the sound;
decay crept into my bones,
    and my legs trembled.(AH)
Yet I will wait patiently(AI) for the day of calamity
    to come on the nation invading us.
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
    and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
    and the fields produce no food,(AJ)
though there are no sheep in the pen
    and no cattle in the stalls,(AK)
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,(AL)
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.(AM)

19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;(AN)
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    he enables me to tread on the heights.(AO)
