THE RITES OF ELEUSIS
2. Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir; when thou marchedst out 01 the
Field of Edom; the earth trembled, and the heaven dropped: the clouds also
dropped waterr
3. Curse ye Meroz, saith the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the
inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the
help of the Lord against the Mighty!
4. The river Kishon swept them away: that ancient river, the river Kishon !
;. Oh, my soul, thou hast trodden down strength!
ι. He bowed the Heavens also and came down: and darkness was under
his feet: at the Brightness that was before him thick clouds passed: hail
stones and flashes of fire!
2. The Lord thundered through the Heavens, and the Highest gave forth
his Voice; hailstones and flashes of fire!
3. He sent forth his arrows and scattered them: He hurled forth his
lightnings and destroyed them
!
4. The Channels of the Waters were seen: and the Foundations of the
World were discovered.
5. At thy Rebuke,
oh Lord!
At
the
Blast of the
Breath
of thy
Nostrils!
l. Oh Lord! I have heard thy Speech, and was afraid!
2. The Voice of the Lord is upon the Waters.
The God of Glory thundereth!
The Lord is upon many Waters.
3. The Voice of the Lord is strong and powerful !
The Voice of the Lord is full of Majesty!
4. The Voice of the Lord breaketh the Cedars !
Yea! the Lord breaketh the Cedars of Lebanon
!
ς. The Voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire!
Yea! the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh!
l. Eloah came out of Temani 01 Edom: And the Holy One from Mount
Paran:
2. He had Karnaim in his hand ; and there was the Hiding of his Power.
3. Before him went the Pestilence; and Flaming Fire went forth at his feet.
4. He stood, and measured the Earth: He beheld, and drove asunder the
Nations.
5. And the Everlasting Mountains were scattered; the Perpetual Hills did
how!
