The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You, they were afraid; the depths also trembled.

His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles.

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Jehovah, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

as the brushwood fire burns, as the fire causes water to boil; to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence!

I looked on the earth, and, lo, it was without form and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

I looked, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens had fled.

Do you not fear Me? says Jehovah. Will you not tremble at My presence, I who have placed the sand for the boundary of the sea by a perpetual decree, so that it cannot pass it? And though its waves toss to and fro, yet they cannot prevail; though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it?

Shall not the land tremble for this, and everyone who dwells in it mourn? And all of it shall rise like the light, and it shall overflow and sink like the river of Egypt.

The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt; and the earth is lifted up before Him, even the world and all who dwell in it.

Who can stand before His indignation? And who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken down because of Him.

A pestilence goes before Him, and lightning goes forth at His feet.

He stood and measured the earth; He looked and shook nations; and the ancient mountains were scattered; the perpetual hills bowed down. His ways are eternal.

The mountains saw You and writhed. The floods of water passed by. The deep uttered its voice and lifted up its hands on high.

And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heavens fled away. And there was found no place for them.

Our God comes, and He is not silent; a fire shall devour before Him, and it shall be very stormy all around Him.

Bow down Your heavens, O Jehovah, and come down; touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

And Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because Jehovah had descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

Oh that You would rend the heavens and come down! That the mountains would quake at Your presence,

as the brushwood fire burns, as the fire causes water to boil; to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence!

And again they said, Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!
