Hear

For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

Hear this, all peoples;

Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,

Draw near, O nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples!

Let the earth and all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.

‘Now hear this, O foolish and senseless people,
Who have eyes but do not see;
Who have ears but do not hear.

Hear this, O priests!
Give heed, O house of Israel!
Listen, O house of the king!
For the judgment applies to you,
For you have been a snare at Mizpah
And a net spread out on Tabor.

Hear this word which the Lord has spoken against you, sons of Israel, against the entire

family which He brought up from the land of Egypt:

Hear this word, you cows of Bashan who are on the mountain of Samaria,
Who oppress the poor, who crush the needy,
Who say to your husbands, “Bring now, that we may drink!”

Hear this word which I take up for you as a dirge, O house of Israel:

Hear, O peoples, all of you;

Listen, O earth and all it contains,

And let the Lord God be a witness against you,
The Lord from His holy temple.

And I said,
“Hear now, heads of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel.
Is it not for you to know justice?

He who has ears, let him hear.”

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.’

Ye old

“Please inquire of past generations,
And consider the things searched out by their fathers.

“Wisdom is with aged men,
With long life is understanding.

“Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us,
Older than your father.

“Why do the wicked still live,
Continue on, also become very powerful?

Hath

A day of darkness and gloom,
A day of clouds and thick darkness.
As the dawn is spread over the mountains,
So there is a great and mighty people;
There has never been anything like it,
Nor will there be again after it
To the years of many generations.

“Indeed, ask now concerning the former days which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and inquire from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything been done like this great thing, or has anything been heard like it?

The Lord will bring on you, on your people, and on your father’s house such days as have never come since the day that Ephraim separated from Judah, the king of Assyria.”

‘Alas! for that day is great,
There is none like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s distress,
But he will be saved from it.

“Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.
