He looked and startled the nations.
aAnd the everlasting mountains were scattered,
The perpetual hills bowed.
His ways are everlasting.
Was Your anger against the rivers,
Was Your wrath against the sea,
That You rode on Your horses,
Your chariots of salvation?
Oaths were sworn over Your1 arrows. Selah
You divided the earth with rivers.
The overflowing of the water passed by.
The deep uttered its voice,
And alifted its hands on high.
At the light of Your arrows they went,
At the shining of Your glittering spear.
For salvation with Your Anointed.
You struck the head from the house of the wicked,
By laying bare from foundation to neck. Selah

Was the Lord displeased against the rivers? - Floods; here is a reference to the passage of the Red Sea. The Lord is represented as heading his troops, riding in his chariot, and commanding the sea to divide, that a free passage might be left for his army to pass over.
