א Aleph
2 A ajealous and avenging God is Yahweh;
Yahweh is bavenging and wrathful.
Yahweh is cavenging against His adversaries,
And He keeps His anger for His enemies.
3 Yahweh is aslow to anger and great in power,
And Yahweh will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.
ב Beth
In bwhirlwind and storm is His way,
And cclouds are the dust beneath His feet.
ג Gimel
4 He arebukes the sea and makes it dry;
He dries up all the rivers.
bBashan and Carmel languish;
The blossoms of Lebanon languish.
ה He
5 Mountains aquake because of Him,
ו Vav
And the hills bmelt;
Indeed the earth is cupheaved by His presence,
The dworld and all the inhabitants in it.
ז Zayin
6 aWho can stand before His indignation?
Who can endure the bburning of His anger?
ח Heth
His cwrath is poured out like fire,
And the drocks are torn down by Him.
ט Teth
7 Yahweh is agood,
A strong defense in the day of distress,
י Yodh
And bHe knows those who take refuge in Him.
8 But with an aoverflowing flood
כ Kaph
He will make a complete destruction of its place
And will pursue His enemies into bdarkness.
