Our Lord, were you angry
with the monsters
    of the deep?[a]
You attacked in your chariot
    and wiped them out.
Your arrows were ready
    and obeyed your commands.[b]

You split the earth apart
    with rivers and streams;
10 mountains trembled
    at the sight of you;
rain poured from the clouds;
    ocean waves roared and rose.

Footnotes

  2. 3.9 obeyed your commands: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
