For the LORD shall be our judge, the LORD shall be our lawgiver, the LORD shall be our king; he himself will save us.

The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with eternal flames?

And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be absolved from sin.

And in thy times wisdom and knowledge, and the strength of salvation shall reign: the fear of the LORD shall be his treasure.

He that walks in righteousness, he that speaks uprightly; he that despises the gain of violence, he that shakes his hands from receiving bribes; he that stops his ears to not hear of blood; he who shuts his eyes to not see evil;

Woe to thee that dost spoil, and thou wast not spoiled; and dost deal treacherously, and they did not deal treacherously with thee! When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

Thou shalt see Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of its stakes shall ever be removed, neither shall any of its cords be broken.

O LORD, have mercy on us; we wait for thee: thou wert the strength of thy people in the beginning, be also our saving health in the time of tribulation.

he shall dwell upon the high places: fortresses of rocks shall be his place of refuge: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

The earth mourns and languishes: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel were shaken.

Now I will rise up, saith the LORD; now I will be exalted; now I will be lifted up.

The LORD shall be exalted; he who dwells on the heights: for he has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

Behold, their ambassadors shall cry without: the messengers of peace shall weep bitterly.

For the LORD shall surely be strong unto us there, a place of broad rivers and wide streams in which no galley with oars shall go, neither shall any great ship pass thereby.

The highways shall be broken down; the travellers shall cease; he has broken the covenant; he has despised the cities; he does not regard man.

And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.

And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

Thine heart shall imagine the terror. Where is the scribe? Where is the receiver of tribute? Where is he that counted the towers?

Thy tacklings are loosed; they did not strengthen well their mast, nor could they spread the sail: : then the prey of a great spoil shall be divided; even the lame shall take prey.

Thou shalt not see that fierce people, a people of a darker speech than thou can perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou can not understand.

At the noise of the tumult the peoples fled; at the lifting up of thyself the Gentiles were scattered.
