Oh Lord, I have heard the report about You and I fear.
Revive Your work in the midst of the years;
In wrath remember compassion and love.
His splendor and majesty covers the heavens
And the earth is full of His praise.
His brightness is like the sunlight,
Bright rays are flashing from His hand;
And there in the sunlike splendor
Is the hiding place of His power.
He stood and measured the earth;
He looked and startled the nations.
The mountains saw Him and trembled;
The ancient hills bowed low and collapsed.
The eternal mountains were shattered.
His ways are eternal;
He marches on forever.
Before Him goes the pestilence,
And the burning plague of condemnation follows at His feet.
I heard and my whole inner self trembled;
My lips quivered at the sound.
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will shout in joy in the God of my salvation!
His brightness is like the sunlight;
Bright rays are flashing from His hand.
And there in the sunlike splendor
Is the hiding place of His power.
You trampled on the surge of many waters,
The downpour of waters swept by.
In indignation You marched through the earth;
In anger You trampled and threshed the nations.
You went forth for the salvation of Your people,
You struck the head from the house of the wicked.
The Sovereign Lord is my strength!
His brightness is like the sunlight;
Bright rays are flashing from His hand.
And there in the sunlike splendor
Is the hiding place of His power.
