\s5
\q
\v 11 The sun and moon stood still in their lofty places,

\q
\v 16 I heard, and my inner parts trembled! My lips quivered at the sound!

\v 17 Though the fig tree does not bud and there is no produce from the vines;

\q
\v 18 Still, I will rejoice in Yahweh! I will be happy because the God of my salvation!
\q
\v 19 The Lord Yahweh is my strength,
\q and he makes my feet like hinds' feet and leads me upon my high places!
