You unsheathed your bow Interlude
    and called for arrows.
    You split the earth with rivers.
10 When the mountains see you, they shake.
    A flood of water sweeps through.
    The great deep roars
    and lifts its hands high.
11 The sun and the moon stand still in their palace
        when your flying arrows flash,
        when your spear is bright as lightning.

11 Sun and moon stood still(E) in the heavens
    at the glint of your flying arrows,(F)
    at the lightning(G) of your flashing spear.
