He has rays from each hand of Him,

Therein[428] is the ambush of His might.

Pestilence travels before Him,

The plague-fire breaks forth at His feet.

He stands and earth shakes,[429]

He looks and drives nations asunder;

And the ancient mountains are cloven,

The hills everlasting sink down.

These be His ways from of old.[430]

Under trouble I see the tents of Kûshān,[431]
