TranslationStirring you will take up your bow: [according to] to the oaths which you have spoken to the tribes./ You will divide the rivers of the earth: the mountains saw and were grieved: the flood of waters passed away./ The deep gave forth its voice: it lifted its hands on high./ The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation: they shall go in the light of your arrows: in the brightness of your flashing spear./ In roaring you will tread the earth under foot: in wrath you will paralyse the nations./ You went forth for the salvation of your people: in salvation with your anointed one./ You have struck the head of the house of the wicked: you have laid bare from foundation even to neck./ You have cursed his sceptres./ the heads of his warriors: who came out like a whirlwind to scatter me./ Their joy: was like that of one who devours the poor man in secret./ You made a way in the sea for your horses: in the mud of many waters./ I have heard and my stomach was troubled: |
