They shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth:

they will come out to meet the Lord our God.

They will fear him greatly,

trembling in terror at his presence.

They shall crawl from their holes like snakes of the earth.

They shall be afraid of the Lord our God,

And shall fear because of You.

17 They will crawl in the dust like a snake,

like insects crawling on the ground.

They will come trembling from their holes to the Lord our God

and will turn in fear before you.

17 They will lick dust like snakes, 

like animals that crawl on the ground. 

They will come out of their hiding places trembling. 

They will turn away from your presence in fear, O Lord our God. 

They will be afraid of you.

they will come trembling out of their hiding places

like reptiles slithering on the ground.

like the crawling things of the earth.

They will come trembling from their strongholds

to Yahweh our God.

Let them fear and be afraid of you.

17 They’ll be forced to eat dust like a snake.

They’ll be like creatures

that have to crawl on the ground.

They’ll come out of their dens

trembling with fear.

They’ll show respect for the Lord our God.

They will also have respect for his people.

17 They will lick the dust like a serpent,

Like reptiles of the earth.

They will come trembling out of their fortresses;

To the Lord our God they will come in dread

And they will be afraid before You.
