In our own time revive it;     in our own time make it known;     in wrath may you remember mercy. 3God came from Teman,     the Holy One from Mount Paran.Selah His glory covered the heavens,     and the earth was full of his praise. 4The brightness was like the sun;     rays came forth from his hand,     where his power lay hidden. 5Before him went pestilence,     and plague followed close behind. 6He stopped and shook the earth;     he looked and made the nations tremble. The eternal mountains were shattered;     along his ancient pathways     the everlasting hills sank low. 7I saw the tents of Cushan under affliction;     the tent-curtains of the land of Midian trembled. 8Was your wrath against the rivers,a</a>]'>[<a href="#fen" xtitle="See footnote a">a</a>] O Lord?     Or your anger against the rivers,b</a>]'>[<a href="#fen" xtitle="See footnote b">b</a>]     or your rage against the sea,c</a>]'>[<a href="#fen" xtitle="See footnote c">c</a>] when you drove your horses,     your chariots to victory? 9You brandished your naked bow,     satedd</a>]'>[<a href="#fen" xtitle="See footnote d">d</a>] were the arrows at your command.e</a>]'>[<a href="#fen" xtitle="See footnote e">e</a>]Selah     You split the earth with rivers. 10The mountains saw you, and writhed;     a torrent of water swept by; the deep gave forth its voice.     The sunf</a>]'>[<a href="#fen" xtitle="See footnote f">f</a>] raised high its hands; 11the moong</a>]'>[<a href="#fen" xtitle="See footnote g">g</a>] stood still in its exalted place,     at the light of your arrows speeding by,     at the gleam of your flashing spear. 12In fury you trod the earth,     in anger you trampled nations. 13You came forth to save your people,     to save your anointed.
