The Lord is slow to anger(A) but great in power;
    the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.(B)
His way is in the whirlwind(C) and the storm,(D)
    and clouds(E) are the dust of his feet.
He rebukes(F) the sea and dries it up;(G)
    he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel(H) wither
    and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.
The mountains quake(I) before him
    and the hills melt away.(J)
The earth trembles(K) at his presence,
    the world and all who live in it.(L)
Who can withstand(M) his indignation?
    Who can endure(N) his fierce anger?(O)
His wrath is poured out like fire;(P)
    the rocks are shattered(Q) before him.

The Lord is good,(R)
    a refuge in times of trouble.(S)
He cares for(T) those who trust in him,(U)
    but with an overwhelming flood(V)
he will make an end of Nineveh;
    he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.

The Lord is very patient but great in power;
        the Lord punishes.
    His way is in whirlwind and storm;
        clouds are the dust of his feet.
He can blast the sea and make it dry up;
        he can dry up all the rivers.
    Bashan and Carmel wither;
        the bud of Lebanon withers.
The mountains quake because of him;
        the hills melt away.
The earth heaves before him—
        the world and all who dwell in it.
Who can stand before his indignation?
        Who can confront the heat of his fury?
    His wrath pours out like fire;
        the rocks are shattered because of him.
The Lord is good,
        a haven in a day of distress.
    He acknowledges those who take refuge in him.
With a rushing flood, he will utterly destroy her[a] place
        and pursue his enemies into darkness.
