The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.

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.

He looks upon the earth, and it trembles; He touches the hills, and they smoke.

He shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble;

The pillars of heaven tremble, and are astonished at His rebuke.

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

When You did awesome things which we did not look for, You came down, the mountains shook at Your presence.

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?

Hear now what Jehovah says: Rise up, contend with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

Mountains, and you enduring foundations of the earth, hear the contention of Jehovah, for Jehovah has a quarrel with His people, and He will argue with Israel.
