New International Version (NIV)

21They will flee to caverns in the rocks

and to the overhanging crags

from the fearful presence of the Lord

and the splendor of his majesty,

when he rises to shake the earth.

21In order to go into the clefts of the rocks and the crannies of the cliffs

Before the terror of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty,

When He arises to terrify the earth.

21In order to go into the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs

Before the terror of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty,

When He arises to make the earth tremble.

21To go into the caverns of the rocks and into the clefts of the [ragged] cliffs [as they flee]

From the terror and dread of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty,

When He arises to terrify the earth.

21They will flee to caverns in the rocks

and crevices in the cliffs,

away from the terror of the Lord

and from the splendor of His majesty,

when He rises to shake the earth.

21Those people will run and hide in caves in the rocks.

They will go into holes in the cliffs.

They will run away from the terrifying presence of the Lord.

They will run when he comes in glory and majesty.

When he comes, he will shake the earth.
