Was Your wrath against the streams? Did You rage against the sea when You rode on Your horses, on Your chariots of salvation?
9You took the sheath from Your bow; the arrows are ready to be used with an oath. Selah You split the earth with rivers. 9You brandished Your bow; You called for many arrows. Selah You split the earth with rivers.
10The mountains see You and shudder; a downpour of water sweeps by. The deep roars with its voice and lifts its waves high. 10The mountains saw You and quaked; torrents of water swept by. The deep roared with its voice and lifted its hands on high.
11Sun and moon stand still in their lofty residence, at the flash of Your flying arrows, at the brightness of Your shining spear. 11Sun and moon stood still in their places at the flash of Your flying arrows, at the brightness of Your shining spear.
12You march across the earth with indignation; You trample down the nations in wrath. 12You marched across the earth with fury; You threshed the nations in wrath.
13You come out to save Your people, to save Your anointed. You crush the leader of the house of the wicked and strip him from foot to neck. Selah 13You went forth for the salvation of Your people, to save Your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked and stripped him from head to toe. Selah
14You pierce his head with his own spears; his warriors storm out to scatter us, gloating as if ready to secretly devour the weak. 14With his own spear You pierced his head, when his warriors stormed out to scatter us, gloating as though ready to secretly devour the weak.
15You tread the sea with Your horses, stirring up the great waters. 15You trampled the sea with Your horses, churning the great waters.
16I 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. 16I heard and trembled within; my lips quivered at the sound. Decay entered my bones; I trembled where I stood. Yet I must wait patiently for the day of distress to come upon the people who invade us.

18yet I will triumph in Yahweh; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation! 18yet I will exult in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
19Yahweh my Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like those of a deer and enables me to walk on mountain heights! 19GOD the Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like those of a deer; He makes me walk upon the heights! For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments.
