He looksat the earth,and it trembles;He touchesthe mountains,and they smoke.
Tremble,O earth,beforethe Lord,Beforethe Godof Jacob,
BowYour heavens,O LORD,and comedown;Touchthe mountains,that they may smoke.
May our Godcomeand not keepsilence;FiredevoursbeforeHim, And it is verytempestuousaroundHim.
The waterssawYou, O God;The waterssawYou, they were in anguish;The deepsalsotrembled.
Your waywas in the seaAnd Your pathsin the mightywaters,And Your footprintsmay not be known.
Now MountSinai[was] allin smokebecausethe LORDdescendedupon it in fire;and its smokeascendedlike the smokeof a furnace,and the wholemountainquakedviolently.
Do you not fearMe?' declaresthe LORD.'Do you not tremblein My presence?For I have placedthe sandas a boundaryfor the sea,An eternaldecree,so it cannotcrossoverit. Though the wavestoss,yet they cannotprevail;Though they roar,yet they cannotcrossoverit.
"Becauseof thiswill not the landquakeAnd everyonewho dwellsin it mourn?Indeed, allof it will riseup like the Nile,And it will be tossedaboutAnd subsidelike the Nileof Egypt.
The mountainssawYou [and] quaked;The downpourof waterssweptby. The deeputteredforthits voice,It liftedhighits hands.
And a second timethey said,"Hallelujah!HER SMOKERISESUP FOREVERAND EVER."
ThenI sawa greatwhitethroneand Him who satupon it, from whosepresenceearthand heavenfled away,and noplacewas foundfor them.
