The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

From the brightness before Him passed His thick clouds,
Hailstones and coals of fire.

Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more;
I sought for him, but he could not be found.

For, lo, the kings assembled themselves,
They passed by together.

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me,
For my soul takes refuge in You;
And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Until destruction passes by.

He turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through the river on foot;
There let us rejoice in Him!

Thus He remembered that they were but flesh,
A wind that passes and does not return.

Your burning anger has passed over me;
Your terrors have destroyed me.

For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it passes by,
Or as a watch in the night.

When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its place acknowledges it no longer.
