10 Therefore, O kings, pay heed;
    take warning, O rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice before him;
with trembling 12     bow down in homage[a]
lest he become angry
    and you perish from the way,
    for his wrath can flare up in an instant.
Blessed are all those
    who take refuge in him.
