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

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

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, 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 fire burns brushwood, As fire causes water to boil -- To make Your name known to Your adversaries, [That] the nations may tremble at Your presence!

I beheld the earth, and indeed [it was] without form, and void; And the heavens, they [had] no light.

I beheld, and indeed [there was] no man, And all the birds of the heavens had fled.

Do you not fear Me?' says the LORD. 'Will you not tremble at My presence, Who have placed the sand as the bound of the sea, By a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass beyond it? And though its waves toss to and fro, Yet they cannot prevail; Though they roar, yet they cannot pass over it.

Shall the land not tremble for this, And everyone mourn who dwells in it? All of it shall swell like the River, Heave and subside Like the River of Egypt.

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

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

Before Him went pestilence, And fever followed at His feet.

He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations. And the everlasting mountains were scattered, The perpetual hills bowed. His ways [are] everlasting.

The mountains saw You [and] trembled; The overflowing of the water passed by. The deep uttered its voice, [And] lifted its hands on high.

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

Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

Bow down Your heavens, O LORD, and come down; Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.

Now Mount Sinai [was] completely in smoke, because the LORD 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! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your presence --

As fire burns brushwood, As fire causes water to boil -- To make Your name known to Your adversaries, [That] the nations may tremble at Your presence!

Again they said, "Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!"
