|
|

|
8. Was the LORD H3068 displeased H2734 against the rivers H5104 ? was thine anger H639 against the rivers H5104 ? was thy wrath H5678 against the sea H3220 , that H3588 thou didst ride H7392 upon H5921 thine horses H5483 and thy chariots H4818 of salvation H3444 ?
|
|
9. Surely thou didst bend the bow at scepters, saith the Lord. Pause. The land of rivers shall be torn asunder.

|
|
12. Thou wilt bring low the land with threatening, and in wrath thou wilt break down the nations.

|
|
13. Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, to save thine anointed: thou shalt bring death on the heads of transgressors; thou has brought bands upon their neck. Pause.
|
13.

|
14. Thou didst strike through H5344 with his staves H4294 the head H7218 of his villages H6518 : they came out as a whirlwind H5590 to scatter H6327 me : their rejoicing H5951 was as H3644 to devour H398 the poor H6041 secretly H4565 .
|
|
15. And thou dost cause thine horses to enter the sea, disturbing much water.
|
15. Thou didst walk H1869 through the sea H3220 with thine horses H5483 , through the heap H2563 of great H7227 waters H4325 .

16. I watched, and my belly trembled at the sound of the prayer of my lips, and trembling entered into my bones, and my frame was troubled within Lit. under me me; I will rest in the day of affliction, from going up to the people of my sojourning.
|
16. When I heard H8085 , my belly H990 trembled H7264 ; my lips H8193 quivered H6750 at the voice H6963 : rottenness H7538 entered H935 into my bones H6106 , and I trembled H7264 in H8478 myself, that H834 I might rest H5117 in the day H3117 of trouble H6869 : when he cometh up H5927 unto the people H5971 , he will invade H1464 them with his troops.

17. For though the fig-tree shall bear no fruit, and there shall be no produce on the vines; the labour of the olive shall Lit. deceive fail, and the fields shall produce no food: the sheep have failed from the pasture, and there are no oxen at the cribs;
|
17. Although H3588 the fig tree H8384 shall not H3808 blossom H6524 , neither H369 shall fruit H2981 be in the vines H1612 ; the labor H4639 of the olive H2132 shall fail H3584 , and the fields H7709 shall yield H6213 no H3808 meat H400 ; the flock H6629 shall be cut off H1504 from the fold H4480 H4356 , and there shall be no H369 herd H1241 in the stalls H7517 :
|
|
18. yet I will exult in the Lord, I will joy in God my Saviour.
|
18. Yet I H589 will rejoice H5937 in the LORD H3068 , I will joy H1523 in the God H430 of my salvation H3468 .
