which (A)sends ambassadors by the sea,
    in vessels of papyrus on the waters!
Go, you swift messengers,
    to a nation (B)tall and smooth,
to a people feared near and far,
    a nation (C)mighty and conquering,
    whose land the rivers divide.

All you inhabitants of the world,
    you who dwell on the earth,
when (D)a signal is raised on the mountains, look!
    When a trumpet is blown, hear!
For thus the Lord said to me:
“I will quietly look (E)from my dwelling
    like clear heat in sunshine,
    like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
