¹² Ah, ^(A)the thunder of many peoples;
    they thunder like the thundering of the sea!
Ah, the roar of nations;
    they roar like the roaring of mighty waters!
^13 (B)The nations roar like the roaring of many waters,
    ^(C)but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away,
chased ^(D)like chaff on the mountains before the wind
    and ^(E)whirling dust before the storm.

^3 (A)The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
    the floods have lifted up their voice;
    the floods lift up their roaring.
⁴ Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
    mightier than the waves of the sea,
    ^(B)the Lord ^(C)on high is mighty!
