God

You are filled with shame, not glory. You, drink too, and stagger! The cup of ADONAI's right hand will be turned against you; your shame will exceed your glory.

But ADONAI is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.

ADONAI, I have heard the report about you. ADONAI, I am awed by your deeds. Bring your work to life in our own age, make it known in our own time; but in anger, remember compassion.

God comes from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Pa'ran. His splendor covers the sky, and his praise fills the earth.

His brightness is like the sun, rays come forth from his hand - that is where his power is concealed.

Before him goes pestilence, and close behind, the plague.

When he stands up, the earth shakes; when he looks, the nations tremble, (Selah) the eternal mountains are smashed to pieces, the ancient hills sink down; the ancient paths are his.

ADONAI, is it against the rivers, against the rivers that your anger is inflamed? Is your fury directed at the sea? Is that why you ride on your horses, and drive your chariots to victory?

You brandish your naked bow and order it filled with arrows. (Selah) You split the earth with rivers.

The mountains see you and tremble; a torrent of water streams by; the deep thunders forth, as it raises enormous waves.

The sun and moon stand still in the sky at the light of your arrows speeding by, at the gleam of your glittering spear.

In fury you stride across the land, in anger you trample the nations.

You come out to save your people, to save your anointed one; you crush the head of the house of the wicked, uncovering its foundation all the way to the neck.

You tread down the sea with your horses, churning up the mighty waters.

still, I will rejoice in ADONAI, I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

ELOHIM Adonai is my strength! He makes me swift and sure-footed as a deer and enables me to stride over my high places. For the leader. With my stringed instruments.

This is the word of ADONAI that came to Tz'fanyah the son of Kushi, the son of G'dalyah, the son of Amaryah, the son of Hizkiyah, during the reign of Yoshiyahu the son of Amon, king of Y'hudah:

"I will completely sweep away everything off the face of the land," says ADONAI.

"I will sweep away humans and animals, the birds in the air and the fish in the sea, also the wicked and what makes them stumble; I will wipe humanity off the land," says ADONAI.

"I will stretch out my hand over Y'hudah and all those living in Yerushalayim. I will wipe every remnant of Ba'al from this place, the idol-serving priests and even their names,

those worshipping heaven's army on the roofs, also those who worship and swear by ADONAI but swear by Malkam as well,

those who turned away from following ADONAI, and those who haven't sought ADONAI or consulted him at all."

Keep silent before Adonai ELOHIM, for the Day of ADONAI is near. ADONAI has prepared a sacrifice; he has set apart those he invited.

When the time comes for ADONAI's sacrifice - "I will punish the leaders and the sons of the king, also those who dress in foreign clothes.

On the same day I will also punish all who jump over the threshold to fill the house of their master with violence and deceit.
