American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers?Was thine anger against the rivers,Or thy wrath against the sea,That thou didst ride upon thy horses,Upon thy chariots of salvation?
Thy bow was made quite bare; {Or, Sworn were the chastisements (Hebrew: rods) of thy word}The oaths to the tribes were a sure word. [Selah.Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
The mountains saw thee, and {Or, were in pain}were afraid;The tempest of waters passed by;The deep uttered its voice,And lifted up its hands on high.
The sun and moon stood still in their habitation,At the light of thine arrows as they went,At the shining of thy glittering spear.
Thou didst march through the land in indignation;Thou didst thresh the nations in anger.
Thou {Or, art come}wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, {Or, For salvation (or, victory) with thine anointed}For the salvation of thine anointed; {Or, Thou didst smite off the head from the house &c.}Thou {Or, hast wounded}woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked man,Laying bare the foundation even unto the neck. [Selah.
Thou {Or, hast pierced}didst pierce with his own staves the head of his {Or, hordes Or, villages}warriors:They came as a whirlwind to scatter me;Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
Thou {Or, hast trodden}didst tread the sea with thy horses,The {Or, surge}heap of mighty waters.
I heard, and my body trembled,My lips quivered at the voice;Rottenness entereth into my bones, and I tremble in my place;Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, {Or, When there shall come up against the people he that invadeth them}For the coming up of the people that invadeth us.
