Who can stand before his indignation?
    Who can endure the heat of his anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire,
    and the rocks are broken asunder by him.
The Lord is good,
    a stronghold in the day of trouble;
    he knows those who take refuge in him.
But with an overflowing flood
    he will make a full end of his adversaries,[a]
    and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
