Lord, I have heard the news about you.
    Lord, I am amazed at the powerful things you have done.
Do great things once again in our time.
    Make those things happen again in our own days.
Even when you are angry,
    remember to be gentle with us.

God is coming from Teman in the south.
    The Holy One comes from Mount Paran.[a] Selah

    His praise fills the earth.
He is like a bright light.
    Rays of light shine from his hand.
    And there he hides his power.
