1God, the great God, the Lord, is speaking. He is calling everybody on the earth, from where the sun rises in the east, to where it goes down in the west. God is shining out from Zion, that most beautiful place. 3Our God is coming, and he does not come quietly! A fire burns up everything that is in front of him. There is a great storm all round him. 4He calls to the skies above, and to the earth below. They must watch while he judges his people.
