Theological / Devotional

There. That is, at the place where they were in the midst of their evildoing. When God arises as a God of judgment, terror seizes them.

Generation of the righteous. God helps and protects those who are righteous in His sight. On “generation,” see Ps. 12:7; cf. Ps. 24:6 ; 73:15. In Ugaritic (see p. 618) the word thus translated also has the meaning “assemblage,” or “dwelling.” Such may be the meaning here.
