Aleph

A (A)jealous and avenging God is [a]Yahweh;
Yahweh is (B)avenging and [b]wrathful.
Yahweh is (C)avenging against His adversaries,
And He keeps His anger for His enemies.
Yahweh is (D)slow to anger and great in power,
And Yahweh will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.

Beth

In (E)whirlwind and storm is His way,
And (F)clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

Gimel

He (G)rebukes the sea and makes it dry;
He dries up all the rivers.
(H)Bashan and Carmel languish;
The blossoms of Lebanon languish.
