9. You readied your bow,you filled your bowstring with arrows.SelahYou split the earth with rivers;
10. at the sight of you the mountains writhed.The clouds poured down water;the deep roared loudly.The sun forgot to rise,
11. the moon left its lofty station,At the light of your flying arrows,at the gleam of your flashing spear.
12. In wrath you marched on the earth,in fury you trampled the nations.
13. You came forth to save your people,to save your anointed one.You crushed the back of the wicked,you laid him bare, bottom to neck.Selah
14. You pierced his head with your shafts;his princes you scattered with your stormwind,as food for the poor in unknown places.
15. You trampled the sea with your horsesamid the churning of the deep waters.
16. I hear, and my body trembles;at the sound, my lips quiver.Decay invades my bones,my legs tremble beneath me.I await the day of distressthat will come upon the people who attack us.
17. For though the fig tree does not blossom,and no fruit appears on the vine,Though the yield of the olive failsand the terraces produce no nourishment,Though the flocks disappear from the foldand there is no herd in the stalls,
18. Yet I will rejoice in the Lordand exult in my saving God.
19. God, my Lord, is my strength;he makes my feet swift as those of deerand enables me to tread upon the heights. For the leader; with stringed instruments.
