The Lord is slow to anger and powerful,
    and he will never let the guilty[a] go unpunished.
The Lord’s path is in the windstorm and hurricane;
    thunderclouds are dust beneath his feet.
He rebukes the sea, and it evaporates;
    he dries up all the rivers.
Bashan and Carmel wither,
    while the flowers of Lebanon languish.
Mountains shake because of him,
    and the hills melt.
The earth goes into upheaval at his presence,
    as does the world with all of its inhabitants.
