5. At the sight of the Lord,mountains and hillstremble and melt;the earth and its peopleshudder and shake.
6. Who can stand the heatof his furious anger?It flashes out like fireand shatters stones.
7. The Lord is good.He protects those who trust himin times of trouble.
8. But like a roaring flood,the Lord chases his enemiesinto dark placesand destroys them.
9. So don't plot against the Lord!He wipes out his enemies,and they never revive.
10. They are like drunkardsovercome by wine,or like dry thorn bushesburning in a fire.
