God has decreed that you will be powerful. O God, you who have acted on our behalf, demonstrate your power,

to the one who rides through the sky from ancient times! Look! He thunders loudly.

Rescue me from the mud! Don’t let me sink! Deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep water!

Don’t let the current overpower me! Don’t let the deep swallow me up! Don’t let the pit devour me!

May their dining table become a trap before them! May it be a snare for that group of friends!

For my enemies talk about me; those waiting for a chance to kill me plot my demise.

For he will rescue the needy when they cry out for help, and the oppressed who have no defender.

The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and trembled. Yes, the depths of the sea shook with fear.

The clouds poured down rain; the skies thundered. Yes, your arrows flashed about.

He remembered that they were made of flesh, and were like a wind that blows past and does not return.

They did not remember what he had done, how he delivered them from the enemy,

He abandoned the sanctuary at Shiloh, the tent where he lived among men.
