5 Mountains quake in the presence of the Lord;hills melt before him.The earth shakes when the Lord appears;the world and all its people tremble.
6 When he is angry, who can survive?Who can survive his terrible fury?He pours out his flaming anger;rocks crumble to dust before him.
7 The Lord is good;he protects his people in times of trouble;he takes care of those who turn to him.
8 Like a great rushing flood he completely destroys his enemies;he sends to their death those who oppose him.
9 What are you plotting against the Lord?He will destroy you.No one opposes him more than once.
10 Like tangled thorns and dry straw,you drunkards will be burnt up!
11 From you, Nineveh, there came someone full of wicked schemes, who plotted against the Lord.
