in the valley of decision!
For (L)the day of the Lord is near
in the valley of decision.
15 (M)The sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withdraw their shining.

and (O)utters his voice from Jerusalem,
(P)and the heavens and the earth quake.
But the Lord is (Q)a refuge to his people,
a stronghold to the people of Israel.
