| 2“God is powerful and dreadful. He enforces peace in the heavens. | 2Dominion and dread belong to Him, the One who establishes harmony in the heavens. |
| 3Who is able to count his heavenly army? Doesn’t his light shine on all the earth? | 3Can His troops be numbered? Does His light not shine on everyone? |
