The Lord is (A)slow to anger and (B)great in power,
And will not at all acquit the wicked.

(C)The Lord has His way
In the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
(D)He rebukes the sea and makes it dry,
And dries up all the rivers.
(E)Bashan and Carmel wither,
And the flower of Lebanon wilts.
The mountains quake before Him,
The hills melt,
And the earth [a]heaves at His presence,
Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.
