And frighten them with Your storm.

like chaff before the wind.

As fire consumes the forest,

as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,

so may you pursue them with your tempest

and terrify them with your hurricane!

NIVNew International Version (2011)

like chaff before the wind.

or a flame sets the mountains ablaze,

so pursue them with your tempest

and terrify them with your storm.

as a flame blazes through mountains,

so pursue them with your tempest

and terrify them with your storm.

like chaff before the wind!

As a fire burns a forest

and as a flame sets mountains ablaze,

chase them with your fierce storm;

terrify them with your tempest.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

O my God, make them like the tumbleweed,

like the chaff before wind.

As fire burns a forest,

and as a flame sets afire mountains,

so pursue them with your tempest

and terrify them with your storm.

KJV 1900King James Version

O my God, make them like a wheel;

As the stubble before the wind.

As the fire burneth a wood,

And as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

So persecute them with thy tempest,

And make them afraid with thy storm.
