15. Then your chariots churnedthe waters of the sea.
16. When I heard this message,I felt weak from fear,and my lips quivered.My bones seemed to melt,and I stumbled around.But I will patiently wait.Some day those vicious enemieswill be struck by disaster.
17. Fig trees may no longer bloom,or vineyards produce grapes;olive trees may be fruitless,and harvest time a failure;sheep pens may be empty,and cattle stalls vacant—
18. but I will still celebratebecause the Lord Godsaves me.
19. The Lord gives me strength.He makes my feet as sureas those of a deer,and he helps me standon the mountains.To the music director:Use stringed instruments.
