2 A jealous and avenging God is the Lord,an avenger is the Lord, full of wrath;The Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries,and rages against his enemies;
3 The Lord is slow to anger, yet great in power;the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.In stormwind and tempest he comes,and clouds are the dust at his feet;
4 He roars at the sea and leaves it dry,and all the rivers he dries up.Laid low are Bashan and Carmel,and the bloom of Lebanon withers;
5 The mountains quake before him,and the hills dissolve;The earth is laid waste before him,the world and all who dwell in it.
6 Before his wrath, who can stand firm,and who can face his blazing anger?His fury is poured out like fire,and boulders break apart before him.
7 The Lord is good to those who wait for him,a refuge on the day of distress,Taking care of those who look to him for protection,
8 when the flood rages;He makes an end of his opponents,and pursues his enemies into darkness.
