(A)Lord, when You went out from Seir,
When You marched from the field of Edom,
(B)The earth quaked, the heavens also dripped,
The clouds also dripped water.
(C)The mountains [a]flowed with water at the presence of the Lord,
(D)This Sinai, at the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel.

“In the days of (E)Shamgar the son of Anath,
In the days of (F)Jael, the roads [b]were deserted,
And travelers went by [c]roundabout ways.
