3: 2 O Jehovah, I have heard 32the report of thee, and 33am afraid: O Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years; In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.
32Or, thy fame
33Or, was
3: 3 God 34came from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens, And the earth was full of his praise.
34Or, cometh And similarly to the end of vs. 15.
3: 4 And his brightness was as the light; He had 35rays coming forth 36from his hand; And there was the hiding of his power.
35Hb. horns
36Or, at his side;
3: 5 Before him went the pestilence, And 37fiery bolts went forth at his feet.
37Or, burning coals
3: 6 He stood, and 38measured the earth; He beheld, and drove asunder the nations; And the eternal mountains were scattered; The everlasting hills did bow; 39His goings were as of old.
38Or, shook
39Or, his ways are everlasting.
3: 7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
3: 8 Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers? Was thine anger against the rivers, Or thy wrath against the sea, That thou didst ride upon the horses, Upon thy chariots of salvation?
3: 9 Thy bow was made quite bare; 40The oaths to the tribes were a sure word. [Selah Thou didst cleave the earth with the rivers.
40Or, Sworn were the chastisements (Hb. rods) of thy word. or, Seven times are the chastisements…
3: 10 The mountains saw thee, and 41were afraid; The tempest of waters passed by; The deep uttered its voice, And lifted up its hands on high.
41Or, were in pain;
3: 11 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.
3: 12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation; Thou didst thresh the nations in anger.
3: 13 Thou 42wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, 43For the salvation of thine anointed; 44Thou 45woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked man, Laying bare the foundation even unto the neck.
42Or, art come
43Or, For salvation (or, victory) with thine anointed;
44Or, Thou didst smite off the head from the house of the wicked man,
45Or, hast wounded
3: 14 [Selah Thou 46didst pierce with his own staves the head of his 47warriors: They came as a whirlwind to scatter me; Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
46Or, hast pierced
47Or, hordes or, villages
3: 15 Thou 48didst tread the sea with thy horses, The 49heap of mighty waters.
48Or, hast trodden
49Or, surge
3: 16 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, 50For the coming up of the people that invadeth us.
50Or, When there shall come up against the people he that invadeth them.
3: 17 For though the fig-tree shall not flourish, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls:
3: 18 Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
3: 19 Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength; And he maketh my feet like hinds feet, And will make me to walk upon my high places.
