The mountains quake before Him,
and the hills melt;
the earth trembles[a][b] at His presence—
the world and all who live in it.(A)
Who can withstand His indignation?
Who can endure His burning anger?(B)
His wrath is poured out like fire,
even rocks are shattered before Him.

Destruction of Nineveh

The Lord is good,
a stronghold in a day of distress;
He cares for those who take refuge(C) in Him.
