Glorious are you, more majestic than the mountains of prey. The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands. At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned. But you, you are to be feared! Who can stand before you when once your anger is roused? From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still, when God arose to establish judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah
It is hard to remember, in these times of trial and turmoil, that You are Supreme, that You are on the throne and that all things are under Your control. I find myself despondent and filled with anxiety; I have taken my eyes off You and let them focus on the attacks of the Evil One. But You allow and forbid; all is at Your beck and call.
Your anger, LORD, is an irresistible force. Your judgments are immutable; none can stand against the righteousness of Your indignation and judgments. All creation fears You and Your majesty.
