- 1. Woe to you who destroy, but you weren't destroyed; and who betray, but nobody betrayed you! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have made an end of betrayal, you will be betrayed.
- 2. Yahweh, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
- 3. At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled. When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
- 4. Your spoil will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers. Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
- 5. Yahweh is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
- 6. There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.
- 7. Behold, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
- 8. The highways are desolate. The traveling man ceases. The covenant is broken. He has despised the cities. He doesn't regard man.
- 9. The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.

- 14. The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
- 15. He who walks righteously, and speaks blamelessly; He who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil--
- 16. he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
- 17. Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
- 18. Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?
- 19. You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can't comprehend, with a strange language that you can't understand.
- 20. Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won't be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
- 21. But there Yahweh will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will go, neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
- 22. For Yahweh is our judge. Yahweh is our lawgiver. Yahweh is our king. He will save us.

- 24. The inhabitant won't say, "I am sick." The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their iniquity.
