5 In his presence the mountains quake,and the hills melt away;the earth trembles,and its people are destroyed.
6 Who can stand before his fierce anger?Who can survive his burning fury?His rage blazes forth like fire,and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence.
7 The lord is good,a strong refuge when trouble comes.He is close to those who trust in him.
8 But he will sweep away his enemiesin an overwhelming flood.He will pursue his foesinto the darkness of night.
9 Why are you scheming against the lord?He will destroy you with one blow;he won’t need to strike twice!
10 His enemies, tangled like thornbushesand staggering like drunks,will be burned up like dry stubble in a field.
11 Who is this wicked counselor of yourswho plots evil against the lord?
