“For look, I am giving a command and I will shake the family of Israel together with all the nations. It will resemble a sieve being shaken, when not even a pebble falls to the ground. ¹ 

Have mercy on me, ¹  Lord, for I am frail! Heal me, Lord, for my bones are shaking! ² 

This very day, standing in Nob, they shake their fist at Daughter Zion’s mountain ¹  – at the hill of Jerusalem.

The nations will hear ¹  and tremble; anguish ²  will seize ³  the inhabitants of Philistia.

Foreigners lose their courage; ¹  they shake with fear ²  as they leave ³  their strongholds. ⁴ 

a trembling ¹  gripped me – and a terror! – and made all my bones shake. ² 

for he stretches out his hand against God, ¹  and vaunts himself ²  against the Almighty,

For, when I think ¹  about this, I am terrified ²  and my body feels a shudder. ³ 

“The dead ²  tremble ³  – those beneath the waters and all that live in them. ⁴ 

The pillars ¹  of the heavens tremble and are amazed at his rebuke. ² 

At this also my heart pounds and leaps from its place.

But as soon as she springs up, ¹  she laughs at the horse and its rider.

“Do you give the horse its strength? Do you clothe its neck with a mane? ¹ 

Do you make it leap ¹  like a locust? Its proud neighing ²  is terrifying!

A club is counted ¹  as a piece of straw; it laughs at the rattling of the lance.

foreigners lose their courage; ¹  they shake with fear ²  as they leave ³  their strongholds. ⁴ 

Look at them shake uncontrollably, ¹  like a woman writhing in childbirth. ² 

There will be some left behind, like when an olive tree is beaten – two or three ripe olives remain toward the very top, four or five on its fruitful branches,” says the Lord God of Israel.

Strengthen the hands that have gone limp, steady the knees that shake! ¹ 

(63:19b) ¹  If only you would tear apart the sky ²  and come down! The mountains would tremble ³  before you!
