4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up;he makes all the rivers run dry.Bashan and Carmel witherand the blossoms of Lebanon fade.
5 The mountains quake before himand the hills melt away.The earth trembles at his presence,the world and all who live in it.
6 Who can withstand his indignation?Who can endure his fierce anger?His wrath is poured out like fire;the rocks are shattered before him.
7 The Lord is good,a refuge in times of trouble.He cares for those who trust in him,
8 but with an overwhelming floodhe will make an end of Nineveh;he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.
9 Whatever they plot against the Lordhe will bring to an end;trouble will not come a second time.
10 They will be entangled among thornsand drunk from their wine;they will be consumed like dry stubble.
