However there are probably some better ones.

I would be interested to know what you are translating so that I could give a better one. Or maybe this one suffices.

And the wrath of God was felt.


Explanation:
This English rendering is consistent with the flavor of the language in the version of the Bible commissioned by King James I of England. (The "wrath of God" is an all-too-common phrase in the Bible...) An alternative translation, slightly looser, which also appears in the Bible, would be "And the wrath of God came upon them," as suggested above.
