1Woe1945 to thee that spoilest7703, and thou wast not spoiled7703; and dealest treacherously898, and they dealt not treacherously898 with thee! when thou shalt cease8552 to spoil7703, thou shalt be spoiled7703; and when thou shalt make an end5239 to deal treacherously898, they shall deal treacherously898 with thee.
2O LORD3068, be gracious2603 unto us; we have waited6960 for thee: be thou their arm2220 every morning1242, our salvation3444 also in the time6256 of trouble6869.
3At the noise6963 of the tumult1995 the people5971 fled5074; at the lifting up7427 of thyself the nations1471 were scattered5310.
4And your spoil7998 shall be gathered622 like the gathering625 of the caterpiller2625: as the running to and fro4944 of locusts1357 shall he run8264 upon them.
5The LORD3068 is exalted7682; for he dwelleth7931 on high4791: he hath filled4390 Zion6726 with judgment4941 and righteousness6666.
6And wisdom2451 and knowledge1847 shall be the stability530 of thy times6256, and strength2633 of salvation3444: the fear3374 of the LORD3068 is his treasure214.
7Behold, their valiant ones691 shall cry6817 without2351: the ambassadors4397 of peace7965 shall weep1058 bitterly4751.
8The highways4546 lie waste8074, the wayfaring man5674 734 ceaseth7673: he hath broken6565 the covenant1285, he hath despised3988 the cities5892, he regardeth2803 no man582.
9The earth776 mourneth56 and languisheth535: Lebanon3844 is ashamed2659 and hewn down7060: Sharon8289 is like a wilderness6160; and Bashan1316 and Carmel3760 shake off5287 their fruits.
10Now will I rise6965, saith559 the LORD3068; now will I be exalted7426; now will I lift up5375 myself.
11Ye shall conceive2029 chaff2842, ye shall bring forth3205 stubble7179: your breath7307, as fire784, shall devour398 you.
12And the people5971 shall be as the burnings4955 of lime7875: as thorns6975 cut up3683 shall they be burned3341 in the fire784.
13Hear8085, ye that are far off7350, what I have done6213; and, ye that are near7138, acknowledge3045 my might1369.
14The sinners2400 in Zion6726 are afraid6342; fearfulness7461 hath surprised270 the hypocrites2611. Who among us shall dwell1481 with the devouring398 fire784? who among us shall dwell1481 with everlasting5769 burnings4168?
15He that walketh1980 righteously6666, and speaketh1696 uprightly4339; he that despiseth3988 the gain1215 of oppressions4642, that shaketh5287 his hands3709 from holding8551 of bribes7810, that stoppeth331 his ears241 from hearing8085 of blood1818, and shutteth6105 his eyes5869 from seeing7200 evil7451;
16He shall dwell7931 on high4791: his place of defence4869 shall be the munitions4679 of rocks5553: bread3899 shall be given5414 him; his waters4325 shall be sure539.
17Thine eyes5869 shall see2372 the king4428 in his beauty3308: they shall behold7200 the land776 that is very far off4801.
18Thine heart3820 shall meditate1897 terror367. Where is the scribe5608? where is the receiver8254? where is he that counted5608 the towers4026?
19Thou shalt not see7200 a fierce3267 people5971, a people5971 of a deeper6012 speech8193 than thou canst perceive8085; of a stammering3932 tongue3956, that thou canst not understand998.
20Look2372 upon Zion6726, the city7151 of our solemnities4150: thine eyes5869 shall see7200 Jerusalem3389 a quiet7600 habitation5116, a tabernacle168 that shall not be taken down6813; not one of the stakes3489 thereof shall ever5331 be removed5265, neither shall any of the cords2256 thereof be broken5423.
21But there the glorious117 LORD3068 will be unto us a place4725 of broad7342 3027 rivers5104 and streams2975; wherein shall go3212 no1077 galley590 with oars7885, neither shall gallant117 ship6716 pass5674 thereby.
22For the LORD3068 is our judge8199, the LORD3068 is our lawgiver2710, the LORD3068 is our king4428; he will save3467 us.
23Thy tacklings2256 are loosed5203; they could not well3653 strengthen2388 their mast8650, they could not spread6566 the sail5251: then is the prey5706 of a great4766 spoil7998 divided2505; the lame6455 take962 the prey957.
24And the inhabitant7934 shall not say559, I am sick2470: the people5971 that dwell3427 therein shall be forgiven5375 their iniquity5771.
