5. Plague goes before Him,and pestilence follows in His steps.
6. He stands and shakes the earth; He looks and startles the nations.The age-old mountains break apart;the ancient hills sink down. His pathways are ancient.
7. I see the tents of Cushan in distress;the tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.
8. Are You angry at the rivers, Lord?Is Your wrath against the rivers?Or is Your rage against the seawhen You ride on Your horses,Your victorious chariot?
9. You took the sheath from Your bow;the arrows are ready to be used with an oath. SelahYou split the earth with rivers.
10. The mountains see You and shudder; a downpour of water sweeps by.The deep roars with its voice and lifts its waves high.
11. Sun and moon stand still in their lofty residence, at the flash of Your flying arrows,at the brightness of Your shining spear.
12. You march across the earth with indignation;You trample down the nations in wrath.
13. You come out to save Your people, to save Your anointed. You crush the leader of the house of the wickedand strip him from foot to neck.Selah
14. You pierce his headwith his own spears;his warriors storm out to scatter us,gloating as if ready to secretly devour the weak.
15. You tread the sea with Your horses,stirring up the great waters.
16. I heard, and I trembled within; my lips quivered at the sound.Rottenness entered my bones;I trembled where I stood.Now I must quietly wait for the day of distress to come against the people invading us.
