| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens and his praise filled the earth. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Plague went before him; pestilence followed his steps. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6He stood, and shook the earth; he looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains crumbled and the age-old hills collapsed-- but he marches on forever. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7I saw the tents of Cushan in distress, the dwellings of Midian in anguish. |

| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9You uncovered your bow, you called for many arrows. You split the earth with rivers; |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10the mountains saw you and writhed. Torrents of water swept by; the deep roared and lifted its waves on high. |

| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15You trampled the sea with your horses, churning the great waters. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered at the sound; decay crept into my bones, and my legs trembled. Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. |
