God comes from Teman. Interlude[a]
    The Holy One comes from Mount Paran.
    His splendor covers the heavens,
    and his praises fill the earth.
His brightness is like lightning.
    Lightning bolts flash out from his hand,[b]
        where his strength is hidden.
Contagious disease goes ahead of him,
    and plague follows after him.
