7 It is you alone who are to be feared.

Who can stand before you when you are angry?

8 From heaven you pronounced judgment,

and the land feared and was quiet—

9 when you, God, rose up to judge,

to save all the afflicted of the land.

7 But you, you are to be feared!

Who can stand before you

when once your anger is roused?

8 From the heavens you uttered judgment;

the earth feared and was still,

9 when God arose to establish judgment,

to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

7 No wonder you are greatly feared!

Who can stand before you when your anger explodes?

8 From heaven you sentenced your enemies;

the earth trembled and stood silent before you.

9 You stand up to judge those who do evil, O God,

and to rescue the oppressed of the earth.

7 You, Yourself, are to be feared;

And who may stand in Your presence

When once You are angry?

The earth feared and was still,

9 When God arose to judgment,

To deliver all the oppressed of the earth.

To save all the meek of the earth. Selah

7 Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry? 8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from the heavens; the earth feared, and was still, 9 When God rose up to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
