9 You stripped the sheath from your bow, calling for many arrows. Selah You split the earth with rivers. 10 The mountains saw You and quaked;
The downpour of waters swept by.
The deep uttered forth its voice,
It lifted high its hands.
11 The sun and moon stood still in their place at the light of your arrows as they sped, at the flash of your glittering spear.
