O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.

God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.

And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.

He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.

I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.

Was the Lord displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?

Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.

10 The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.

11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.

13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.

Lord, I have heard(A) of your fame;
    I stand in awe(B) of your deeds, Lord.(C)
Repeat(D) them in our day,
    in our time make them known;
    in wrath remember mercy.(E)

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

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

11 Sun and moon stood still(AA) in the heavens
    at the glint of your flying arrows,(AB)
    at the lightning(AC) of your flashing spear.
12 In wrath you strode through the earth
    and in anger you threshed(AD) the nations.
13 You came out(AE) to deliver(AF) your people,
    to save your anointed(AG) one.
You crushed(AH) the leader of the land of wickedness,
    you stripped him from head to foot.

18 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord:

19 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
