Were, etc

Then they will be filled with terror—
terror like no other—
because God will scatter
the bones of those who besiege you.
You will put them to shame,
for God has rejected them.

and terror and dread will fall on them.
They will be as still as a stone
because of Your powerful arm
until Your people pass by, Lord,
until the people whom You purchased pass by.

King Ahasuerus said to Esther the Queen and to Mordecai the Jew, “Look, I have given Haman’s estate to Esther, and he was hanged on the gallows because he attacked the Jews.

I, in turn, will laugh at your calamity.
I will mock when terror strikes you,

The wicked flee when no one is pursuing them,
but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

The generation

Their descendants will serve Him;
the next generation will be told about the Lord.

Such is the generation of those who seek Him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob.

Selah

If I had decided to say these things aloud,
I would have betrayed Your people.

His descendants will be powerful in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.

But you are a chosen race,

a royal priesthood,

a holy nation,

a people for His possession,

so that you may proclaim the praises

of the One who called you out of darkness
into His marvelous light.
