3  ^kGod came from Teman,

and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah

His splendor covered the heavens,

and ^lthe earth was full of his praise.

4  His brightness was like the light;

rays flashed from his hand;

and there he veiled his power.

5  Before him went pestilence,

and plague followed at his heels.¹

6  He stood and measured the earth;

he looked and shook the nations;

then the eternal mountains were scattered;

the ^meverlasting hills sank low.

His were the everlasting ways.
