²A jealous and avenging •God is Jehovah: an avenger is Jehovah, and full of fury: Jehovah taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. ³Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and doth not at all clear the guilty: Jehovah, —his way is in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. ⁴He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. ⁵The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt, and the earth is upheaved at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein. ⁶Who shall stand before his indignation? and who shall abide in the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him. ⁷Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. ⁸But with an overrunning flood he will make a full end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
