³² He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

⁵ Part your heavens, Yahweh, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

¹⁸ Mount Sinai, the whole of it, smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

¹⁰ The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The tempest of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.

⁷ Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁴ His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.

⁵ The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

¹¹ I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

³ A second said, "Hallelujah! Her smoke goes up forever and ever."

⁵ Plague went before him, And pestilence followed his feet.

⁶ He stood, and shook the earth. He looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains were crumbled. The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal.

⁵ The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.

⁶ Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.

⁸ Won't the land tremble for this, And everyone mourn who dwells in it? Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River; And it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.

²² Don't you fear me? says Yahweh: won't you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can't pass it? and though the waves of it toss themselves, yet they can't prevail; though they roar, yet they can't pass over it.

²³ I saw the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

²⁴ I saw the mountains, and, behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.

²⁵ I saw, and, behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky were fled.

²⁶ I saw, and, behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the cities of it were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, [and] before his fierce anger.

¹ Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence,

² as when fire kindles the brushwood, [and] the fire causes the waters to boil; to make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!

¹⁶ The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.

³ Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very tempestuous around him.
