6. He stops and measures the earth.He looks and sets out against the nations.The everlasting mountains collapse;the eternal hills bow down;the eternal paths belong to him.
7. I saw the tents of Cushan under duress.The curtains of the land of Midian were quaking.
8. Was the Lord raging against the rivers?Or was your anger directed against the rivers?Or was your fury directed against the seawhen you rode on your horsesor rode your chariots to victory?
9. You raise up your empty bow,uttering curses for the arrows. SelahWith rivers you split open the earth.
10. The mountains see you and writhe.A flood of water rushes through.The deep utters its voice;it raises its hands aloft.
11. Sun and moon stand still high above.With the light, your arrows shoot,your spear at the flash of lightning.
12. In fury, you stride the earth;in anger you tread the nations.
13. You go out to save your people.For the salvation of your anointedyou smashed the head of the house of wickedness,laying bare the foundation up to the neck. Selah
14. You pierce the head of his warrior with his own spear.His warriors are driven off,those who take delight in oppressing us,those who take pleasure in secretly devouring the poor.
15. You make your horses tread on the sea;turbulent waters foam.
16. I hear and my insides tremble.My lips quiver at the sound.Rottenness enters my bones.I tremble while I stand,while I wait for the day of distress to come against the people who attack us.
