2||dGod is jealous, and ethe Lord revengeth;
The Lord revengeth, and †is furious;
The Lord will take vengeance fon his adversaries,
And ghe reserveth wrath for his enemies.
3The Lord is hslow to anger, and igreat in power,
And kwill not at all acquit the wicked:
lThe Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in mthe storm,
And the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4nHe rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry,
And drieth up all the rivers:
opBashan qlanguisheth, and opCarmel,
And the flower of oLebanon qlanguisheth.
5rThe mountains quake at him, and sthe hills melt,
And the earth tis burned at his presence,
Yea, uthe world, and all that dwell therein.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord is avenging and wrathful;
the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries
and keeps wrath for his enemies.
The Lord is slow to anger and great in power,
and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty.
His way is in whirlwind and storm,
and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
He rebukes the sea and makes it dry;
he dries up all the rivers;
Bashan and Carmel wither;
the bloom of Lebanon withers.
The mountains quake before him;
the hills melt;
the earth heaves before him,
the world and all who dwell in it.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance on his foes
and vents his wrath against his enemies.
The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.
His way is in the whirlwind and the storm,
and clouds are the dust of his feet.
He rebukes the sea and dries it up;
he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel wither
and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.
The mountains quake before him
and the hills melt away.
The earth trembles at his presence,
the world and all who live in it.

The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord takes vengeance
and is fierce in wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance against his foes;
he is furious with his enemies.
The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will never leave the guilty unpunished.
His path is in the whirlwind and storm,
and clouds are the dust beneath his feet.
He rebukes the sea and dries it up,
and he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel wither;
even the flower of Lebanon withers.
The mountains quake before him,

NLTNew Living Translation
The Lord is a jealous God,
filled with vengeance and rage.
He takes revenge on all who oppose him
and continues to rage against his enemies!
The Lord is slow to get angry, but his power is great,
and he never lets the guilty go unpunished.
He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm.
The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet.
At his command the oceans dry up,
and the rivers disappear.
The lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade,
and the green forests of Lebanon wither.
In his presence the mountains quake,
and the hills melt away;
the earth trembles,
and its people are destroyed.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Yahweh is a jealous God and avenging;
Yahweh is avenging and full of wrath.
Yahweh takes vengeance against his enemies;
he rages against his adversaries.
Yahweh is slow to anger but great in power;
and Yahweh will certainly not allow the guilty to go unpunished.
He marches in storm wind and in gale;
storm clouds are the dust of his feet.
He rebukes the sea and he dries up the rivers;
he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel wither;
the blossom of Lebanon languishes.
Mountains quake before him;
the hills shake apart.
The earth heaves before him—
the world and all her inhabitants.
