God is coming from Teman;
    the Holy One comes from Mount Paran.[a] Selah
His glory covers the skies,
    and his praise fills the earth.
He is like a bright light.
    Rays of light shine from his hand,
    and there he hides his power.
Sickness goes before him,
    and disease follows behind him.
