Your anger could destroy us. Your anger frightens us!
You punish people for doing wrong to teach them the right way to live. As a moth destroys cloth, you destroy what people love. Yes, our lives are like a small cloud that quickly disappears. Selah
And who was God angry with for 40 years? He was angry with those who sinned. And their dead bodies were left in the desert.
No one really knows the full power of your anger, but our fear and respect for you is as great as your anger.
Your anger can end our life. Our lives fade away like a whisper.
Destroy them in your anger. Destroy them completely! Then people all over the world will know that God rules over the people of Jacob. Selah
Early that morning the Lord looked down from the tall cloud and column of fire at the Egyptian army. Then he made them panic.
So he ended their worthless lives; he brought their years to a close with disaster.
In anger you walked on the earth and punished the nations.
