11 Shall not his excellency terrify you? and his dread fall upon you?
For calamity from ùGod was a terror to me, and by reason of his excellency I was powerless.
My flesh shuddereth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
Withdraw thy hand far from me; and let not thy terror make me afraid:
Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
Will ye not fear me? saith Jehovah. Will ye not tremble at my presence, who have set the sand a bound for the sea by a perpetual decree, and it shall not pass it? and its waves toss themselves, but they do not prevail; and they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
But Jehovah Elohim is truth; he is the living God, and the King of eternity. At his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations cannot abide his indignation.
And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but fear rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
And they sing the song of Moses bondman of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wonderful [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; righteous and true [are] thy ways, O King of nations. Who shall not fear [thee], O Lord, and glorify thy name? for [thou] only [art] holy; for all nations shall come and do homage before thee; for thy righteousnesses have been made manifest.
