Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

3God comes from Teman,

And the Holy One from Mount Paran.

His splendor covers the heavens,

And the earth is full of His praise.

4His radiance is like the sunlight;

He has rays flashing from His hand,

And the hiding of His might is there.

5Before Him goes plague,

And plague comes forth after Him.

6He stood and caused the earth to shudder;

He looked and caused the nations to jump.

Yes, the everlasting mountains were shattered,

The ancient hills collapsed.

His paths are everlasting.

7I saw the tents of Cushan under distress,

The tent curtains of the land of Midian were trembling.

8Did the Lord rage against the rivers,

Or was Your anger against the rivers,

Or was Your rage against the sea,

That You rode on Your horses,

On Your chariots of salvation?

9You removed Your bow from its holder,

The arrows of Your word were sworn.

You divided the earth with rivers.

10The mountains saw You and quaked;

The downpour of waters swept by.

The deep raised its voice,

It lifted high its hands.

11Sun and moon stood in their lofty places;

They went away at the light of Your arrows,

At the radiance of Your flashing spear.

12In indignation You marched through the earth;

In anger You trampled the nations.
