O Yahweh! When thou didst come forth out of Seir, When thou didst march along out of the field of Edom, Earth, trembled, Heaven also, poured forth, - Yea, dark clouds, poured forth waters; From, mountains, came down streams In presence of Yahweh, - From this Sinai, In presence of Yahweh, God of Israel.
