Tremble [with anger or fear], and do not sin;
Meditate in your heart upon your bed and be still [reflect on your sin and repent of your rebellion]. Selah.

Who may ascend onto the mountain of the Lord?
And who may stand in His holy place?

Let all the earth fear and worship the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

You, even You, are to be feared [with the submissive wonder of reverence];
Who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry?

Also, You have turned back the edge of his sword
And have not made him [strong enough] to stand in battle.

Behold, bless and praise the Lord, all servants of the Lord (priests, Levites),
Who stand and serve by night in the house of the Lord.

You who stand in the house of the Lord,
In the courts of the house of our God,

My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my neighbors stand far away.
