⁴ The Lord is in his holy temple;^(I)
    the Lord is on his heavenly throne.^(J)
He observes everyone on earth;^(K)
    his eyes examine^(L) them.
⁵ The Lord examines the righteous,^(M)
    but the wicked, those who love violence,
    he hates with a passion.^(N)
6 On the wicked he will rain
    fiery coals and burning sulfur;^(O)
    a scorching wind^(P) will be their lot.

⁷ For the Lord is righteous,^(Q)
    he loves justice;^(R)
    the upright^(S) will see his face.^(T)

¹⁴ They raise their voices, they shout for joy;^(A)
    from the west^(B) they acclaim the Lord’s majesty.
¹⁵ Therefore in the east^(C) give glory^(D) to the Lord;
    exalt^(E) the name^(F) of the Lord, the God of Israel,
    in the islands^(G) of the sea.
¹⁶ From the ends of the earth^(H) we hear singing:^(I)
    “Glory^(J) to the Righteous One.”^(K)

But I said, “I waste away, I waste away!^(L)
    Woe^(M) to me!
The treacherous^(N) betray!
    With treachery the treacherous betray!^(O)”
¹⁷ Terror^(P) and pit and snare^(Q) await you,
    people of the earth.^(R)
18 Whoever flees^(S) at the sound of terror
    will fall into a pit;^(T)
whoever climbs out of the pit
    will be caught in a snare.^(U)

The floodgates of the heavens^(V) are opened,
    the foundations of the earth shake.^(W)
19 The earth is broken up,^(X)
    the earth is split asunder,^(Y)
    the earth is violently shaken.
²⁰ The earth reels like a drunkard,^(Z)
    it sways like a hut^(AA) in the wind;
so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion^(AB)
    that it falls^(AC)—never to rise again.^(AD)

²¹ In that day^(AE) the Lord will punish^(AF)
    the powers^(AG) in the heavens above
    and the kings^(AH) on the earth below.
²² They will be herded together
    like prisoners^(AI) bound in a dungeon;^(AJ)
they will be shut up in prison
    and be punished^[a] after many days.^(AK)
23 The moon will be dismayed,
    the sun^(AL) ashamed;
for the Lord Almighty will reign^(AM)
    on Mount Zion^(AN) and in Jerusalem,
    and before its elders—with great glory.^(AO)
