5 The mountains quake before Him,
The hills melt,
And the earth¹ heaves at His presence,
Yes, the world and all who dwell in it. ‡

6 Who can stand before His indignation?
And ^awho can endure the fierceness of His anger?
His fury is poured out like fire,
And the rocks are thrown down by Him. ‡

8 But with an overflowing flood
He will make an utter end of its place,
And darkness will pursue His enemies.

9 ^aWhat do you¹ conspire against the Lord?
^bHe will make an utter end of it.
Affliction will not rise up a second time. ‡
