Bow down before Yahweh [when he appears] in his holy/sacred temple; everyone on the earth should tremble in front of him, because he is majestic and holy.

[All the beings that are in] [MTY] the heavens should be glad, and all [the people on the] earth should rejoice. The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh].
12 gaudebunt campi, et omnia quae in eis sunt. Tunc exultabunt omnia ligna silvarum
The fields and everything that grows in them should rejoice. When they do that, [it will be as though] all the trees in the forests will sing joyfully
13 a facie Domini, quia venit: quoniam venit iudicare terram. Iudicabit orbem terrae in aequitate, et populos in veritate sua.
in front of Yahweh. That will happen when he comes to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth. He will judge all the people fairly/justly, according to [what he knows is] true.
