Is this why you climb into your horse-drawn chariots, your victorious chariots? Your bow is ready for action; you commission your arrows. Selah. You cause flash floods on the earth's surface. When the mountains see you, they shake. The torrential downpour sweeps through. The great deep shouts out; it lifts its hands high.

You furiously stomp on the earth, you angrily trample down the nations.
