Judgment and justice take hold of you.

Or all the exertions of your strength?

When people [fn]vanish in their places.

They drip upon mankind abundantly.

The thundering of His [fn]pavilion?

And commands it to strike the target.

“Its thundering voice declares [fn]His presence;

The livestock also, concerning what is coming up.
