9 Your bow was exposed, and your arrows targeted by command. Interlude You split the earth with rivers. 10 When the mountains looked upon you, they trembled; the overflowing water passed by, the ocean shouted, and its waves surged upward. 11 The sun and moon stand still in their orbits; at the glint of your arrows they speed along, even at the gleam of your flashing spear.
