¹⁰ Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
    the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.^(A)

²² In my alarm^(A) I said,
    “I am cut off^(B) from your sight!”
Yet you heard my cry^(C) for mercy
    when I called to you for help.

³ You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’^(A)
    Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
    things too wonderful for me to know.^(B)

⁶ Your right hand,^(A) Lord,
    was majestic in power.
Your right hand,^(B) Lord,
    shattered^(C) the enemy.

² 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)

³ 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)
4 His splendor was like the sunrise;^(K)
    rays flashed from his hand,
    where his power^(L) was hidden.
⁵ Plague^(M) went before him;
    pestilence followed his steps.
⁶ 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)
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in distress,
    the dwellings of Midian^(R) in anguish.^(S)

⁸ 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)
9 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 So I say, “My splendor is gone
    and all that I had hoped from the Lord.”^(A)

¹⁹ I remember my affliction and my wandering,
    the bitterness^(B) and the gall.^(C)
20 I well remember them,
    and my soul is downcast^(D) within me.^(E)
21 Yet this I call to mind
    and therefore I have hope:

²² Because of the Lord’s great love^(F) we are not consumed,^(G)
    for his compassions never fail.^(H)
23 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.^(I)

⁵ I thought about the former days,^(A)
    the years of long ago;

²² I was senseless^(A) and ignorant;
    I was a brute beast^(B) before you.
