Psalms 76:9
7 You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?
8 From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still
when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth. Selah
10 Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.
11 Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
