God [approaching from Sinai] comes from Teman (Edom),
And the Holy One from [a]Mount Paran. Selah ([b]pause, and calmly think of that).
His splendor and majesty covers the heavens
And the earth is full of His praise.

His brightness is like the sunlight;
He has [bright] rays flashing from His hand,
And there [in the sunlike splendor] is the hiding place of His power.

Before Him goes the pestilence [of judgment as in Egypt],
And [the burning] plague [of condemnation] follows at His feet [as in Sennacherib’s army].(A)
