2 O Yahweh I have heard report your I fear O Yahweh work your in [the] midst of years restore it in [the] midst of years you will make [it] known in wrath to have compassion you will remember.
O Jehovah, I have heard thy words, and tremble. O Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years, In the midst of the years make it known, In wrath remember mercy!

4 And brightness like the light it is two horns from hand his [belong] to him and [is] there [the] hiding place of (strength his. *Q(K)*)
His brightness is as the light; Rays stream forth from his hand, And there is the hiding-place of his power.
5 Before him it goes pestilence so it may go out lightning to feet his.
Before him goeth the pestilence, And the plague followeth his steps.
6 He stood - and he shook [the] earth he has seen and he has made jump nations and they have been shattered mountains of antiquity they have bowed down hills of antiquity ways of antiquity [belong] to him.
He standeth, and measureth the earth; He beholdeth, and maketh the nations tremble; The everlasting mountains are broken asunder; The eternal hills sink down; The eternal paths are trodden by him.
7 Under trouble I have seen [the] tents of Cushan they tremble! [the] tent curtains of [the] land of Midian.
I see the tents of Cushan in affliction, And the canopies of the land of Midian tremble.
8 ¿ On rivers has it burned O Yahweh or? on the rivers [is] anger your or? on the sea [is] fury your that you will ride on horses your chariots your salvation.
Is the anger of Jehovah kindled against the rivers, Is thy wrath against the rivers, Is thy indignation against the floods, That thou ridest on with thy horses, Upon thy chariots of victory?
9 Bareness it is made bare bow your oaths of arrows a word (Selah) rivers you split open [the] earth.
Thy bow is made bare; Curses are the arrows of thy word; Thou causest rivers to break forth from the earth.
10 They have seen you they writhe mountains a downpour of water it has passed over it has given forth [the] deep voice its height hands its it has lifted.
The mountains see thee and tremble; The flood of waters overflows; The deep uttereth his voice, And lifteth up his hands on high.
11 Sun moon it has stood still a lofty abode to light arrows your they go to brightness [the] lightning flash of spear your.
The sun and the moon remain in their habitation, At the light of thine arrows which fly, At the brightness of the lightning of thy spear.
12 In indignation you march [the] earth in anger you trample down nations.
Thou marchest through the land in indignation; Thou thrashest the nations in anger;
13 You have gone out for [the] salvation of people your for [the] salvation anointed your you have shattered [the] chief from [the] house of [the] wicked you have laid bare foundation[s] to neck (Selah)
Thou goest forth for the deliverance of thy people, For the deliverance of thine anointed. Thou smitest the head of the house of the wicked; Thou destroyest the foundation even to the neck.
14 You pierced with own arrows his [the] head of (warriors his *Q(K)*) they storm to scatter me exultation their [was] like to devour [the] afflicted in the secret place.
Thou piercest with his own spears the chief of his captains, Who rushed like a whirlwind to scatter us; Who exulted, as if they should devour the distressed in a hiding-place.
15 You trod on the sea horses your a heap of waters many.
Thou ridest through the sea with thy horses, Through the raging of mighty waters.
16 I heard - and it trembled belly my to [the] sound they quivered lips my it came rottenness in bones my and under me I trembled that I will be quiet for [the] day of trouble to come up to [the] people [which] attacks us it.
I have heard, and my heart trembleth; My lips quiver at the voice; Rottenness entereth into my bones, and my knees tremble, That I must wait in silence for the day of trouble, When the invader shall come up against my people!
17 For [the] fig tree not it buds and there not [is] produce on the vines it fails [the] product of [the] olive tree and fields not it produces food someone cuts off from [the] fold [the] flock and not cattle [is] in the stalls.
For the fig-tree shall not blossom, And there shall be no fruit upon the vine; The produce of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food. The flocks shall he cut off from the folds, And there shall be no herd in the stalls.
18 And I in Yahweh I will exult I will rejoice in [the] God of salvation my.
Yet will I rejoice in Jehovah, I will exult in God, my helper.
19 (Yahweh *L(abh)*) [the] Lord [is] strength my and he makes feet my like does and on high places my he makes tread me to the choirmaster with stringed instruments my.
The Lord Jehovah is my strength; He will make my feet like the hind's, And cause me to walk upon my high places. “To the leader of the music on my stringed instruments.”
