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.

Were you angry with the rivers,(A) Lord?
    Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea(B)
    when you rode your horses
    and your chariots to victory?(C)
You uncovered your bow,
    you called for many arrows.(D)
You split the earth with rivers;
10     the mountains saw you and writhed.(E)
Torrents of water swept by;
    the deep roared(F)
    and lifted its waves(G) on high.

11 Sun and moon stood still(H) in the heavens
    at the glint of your flying arrows,(I)
    at the lightning(J) of your flashing spear.
