10. The mountains look at you. They writhe in pain.Floodwaters pass by.The deep ocean roars. Its waves rise up high.
11. The sun and the moon stand still.They scatter at the light of your arrows,at the bright lightning of your spear.
12. You march through the earth with fury.You trample the nations in anger.
13. You go out to save your people,to save your anointed.You crush the leader of the wicked household,stripping him bare from head to toe. Selah
14. You pierce the leader of his gang with his own arrows.His soldiers come like a violent storm to scatter me.They are arrogant like those who secretly eat up the poor.
15. You march with your horses into the sea,into the mighty raging waters.
16. I have heard, so there’s trembling within me.At the report my lips quivered.A rotten feeling has entered me.I tremble where I stand.I wait for the day of troubleto come to the people who will attack us.
