The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will never leave the guilty unpunished.(A)
His path is in the whirlwind and storm,
and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.
He rebukes the sea so that it dries up,
and He makes all the rivers run dry.(B)
Bashan and Carmel wither;(C)
even the flower of Lebanon withers.
The mountains quake before Him,
and the hills melt;
the earth trembles[a][b] at His presence—
the world and all who live in it.(D)
