The Lord came from Sinai
and revealed himself 1 to Israel 2 from Seir.
He appeared in splendor 3 from Mount Paran,
and came forth with ten thousand holy ones. 4
With his right hand he gave a fiery law 5 to them.
68:7 O God, when you lead your people into battle, 6
when you march through the desert, 7 (Selah)
68:8 the earth shakes,
yes, the heavens pour down rain
before God, the God of Sinai, 8
before God, the God of Israel. 9
3:3 God comes 10 from Teman, 11
the sovereign 12 one from Mount Paran. 13 Selah. 14
His splendor covers the skies, 15
his glory 16 fills the earth.
3:4 He is as bright as lightning; 17
a two-pronged lightning bolt flashes from his hand. 18
This is the outward display of his power. 19
3:5 Plague goes before him;
pestilence 20 marches right behind him. 21
3:6 He takes his battle position 22 and shakes 23 the earth;
with a mere look he frightens 24 the nations.
The ancient mountains disintegrate; 25
the primeval hills are flattened.
He travels on the ancient roads. 26
