psalm 83:16 · King James Version
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
