⁵ The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
    before the Lord of all the earth.

⁵ In his presence the mountains quake,
    and the hills melt away;
the earth trembles,
    and its people are destroyed.

³ Look! The Lord is coming!
    He leaves his throne in heaven
    and tramples the heights of the earth.
⁴ The mountains melt beneath his feet
    and flow into the valleys
like wax in a fire,
    like water pouring down a hill.

64 ^[a]Oh, that you would burst from the heavens and come down!
    How the mountains would quake in your presence!
^2 [b]As fire causes wood to burn
    and water to boil,
your coming would make the nations tremble.
    Then your enemies would learn the reason for your fame!
