ESVEnglish Standard Version

The sun and the moon are darkened,

and the stars withdraw their shining.

The Lord roars from Zion,

and utters his voice from Jerusalem,

and the heavens and the earth quake.

But the Lord is a refuge to his people,

a stronghold to the people of Israel.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The sun and moon will be darkened,

and the stars no longer shine.

The Lord will roar from Zion

and thunder from Jerusalem;

the earth and the heavens will tremble.

But the Lord will be a refuge for his people,

a stronghold for the people of Israel.

NLTNew Living Translation

The sun and moon will grow dark,

and the stars will no longer shine.

The Lord’s voice will roar from Zion

and thunder from Jerusalem,

and the heavens and the earth will shake.

But the Lord will be a refuge for his people,

a strong fortress for the people of Israel.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

The sun and the moon grow dark,

and the stars have withheld their splendor.

And Yahweh roars from Zion;

from Jerusalem he utters his voice,

and the heavens and the earth shake.

But Yahweh is a refuge for his people,

and a protection for the children of Israel.

KJV 1900King James Version

The sun and the moon shall be darkened,

And the stars shall withdraw their shining.

The Lord also shall roar out of Zion,

And utter his voice from Jerusalem;

And the heavens and the earth shall shake:

But the Lord will be the hope of his people,

And the strength of the children of Israel.
