5  ^sBow your heavens, O Lord, and come down!

^tTouch the mountains so that they smoke!

9  He ^vbowed the heavens and ^wcame down;

^xthick darkness was under his feet.

32  who looks on the earth and it ^mtrembles,

who ⁿtouches the mountains and they smoke!

1  ^pOh that you would rend the heavens and come down,

^qthat the mountains might quake at your presence—

2  ¹ as when fire kindles brushwood

and the fire causes water to boil—

^rto make your name known to your adversaries,

and that the nations might tremble at your presence!

3  ^fThe Lord is slow to anger and ^ggreat in power,

and ^hthe Lord will by no means clear the guilty.

ⁱHis way is in whirlwind and storm,

and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

4  ^jHe rebukes the sea and makes it dry;

he dries up all the rivers;

^kBashan and ^lCarmel wither;

the bloom of ^kLebanon withers.

5  ^mThe mountains quake before him;

ⁿthe hills melt;

the earth heaves before him,

^othe world and all who dwell in it.

6  ^pWho can stand before his indignation?

Who can endure the heat of his anger?

His wrath ^qis poured out like fire,

and ^rthe rocks are broken into pieces by him.

3  God came from ^bTeman,

^cand the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah

His splendor covered the heavens,

and the earth was full of his praise.

4  ^dHis brightness was like the light;

rays flashed from his hand;

and there he veiled his power.

5  ^eBefore him went pestilence,

and plague followed ^fat his heels.¹

6  He stood ^gand measured the earth;

he looked and shook the nations;

then the ^heternal mountains ⁱwere scattered;

the everlasting hills sank low.

His were ^jthe everlasting ways.
