Woe
to thee that spoilest,
and thou wast not spoiled;
and dealest treacherously,
and they dealt not treacherously
with thee! when thou shalt cease
to spoil,
thou shalt be spoiled;
and when thou shalt make an end
to deal treacherously,
they shall deal treacherously
with thee.

O LORD,
be gracious
unto us; we have waited
for thee: be thou their arm
every morning,
our salvation
also in the time
of trouble.
At the noise
of the tumult
the people
fled;
at the lifting up
of thyself the nations
were scattered.
And your spoil
shall be gathered
like the gathering
of the caterpiller:
as the running to and fro
of locusts
shall he run
upon them.
The LORD
is exalted;
for he dwelleth
on high:
he hath filled
Zion
with judgment
and righteousness.
And wisdom
and knowledge
shall be the stability
of thy times,
and strength
of salvation:
the fear
of the LORD
is his treasure.

Behold, their valiant ones
shall cry
without:
the ambassadors
of peace
shall weep
bitterly.
The highways
lie waste,
the wayfaring man
ceaseth:
he hath broken
the covenant,
he hath despised
the cities,
he regardeth
no man.
The earth
mourneth
and languisheth:
Lebanon
is ashamed
and hewn down:
Sharon
is like a wilderness;
and Bashan
and Carmel
shake off
their fruits.
Now will I rise,
saith
the LORD;
now will I be exalted;
now will I lift up
myself.
Ye shall conceive
chaff,
ye shall bring forth
stubble:
your breath,
as fire,
shall devour
you.
And the people
shall be as the burnings
of lime:
as thorns
cut up
shall they be burned
in the fire.
Hear,
ye that are far off,
what I have done;
and, ye that are near,
acknowledge
my might.
The sinners
in Zion
are afraid;
fearfulness
hath surprised
the hypocrites.
Who among us shall dwell
with the devouring
fire?
who among us shall dwell
with everlasting
burnings?
He that walketh
righteously,
and speaketh
uprightly;
he that despiseth
the gain
of oppressions,
that shaketh
his hands
from holding
of bribes,
that stoppeth
his ears
from hearing
of blood,
and shutteth
his eyes
from seeing
evil;

He shall dwell
on high:
his place of defence
shall be the munitions
of rocks:
bread
shall be given
him; his waters
shall be sure.
Thine eyes
shall see
the king
in his beauty:
they shall behold
the land
that is very far off.
Thine heart
shall meditate
terror.
Where is the scribe?
where is the receiver?
where is he that counted
the towers?
Thou shalt not see
a fierce
people,
a people
of a deeper
speech
than thou canst perceive;
of a stammering
tongue,
that thou canst not understand.

Look
upon 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 the stakes
thereof shall ever
be removed,
neither shall any of the cords
thereof be broken.

But there the glorious
LORD
will be unto us a place

wherein shall go

with oars,
neither shall gallant
ship
pass
thereby.

For the LORD
is our judge,
the LORD

the LORD

he will save
us.
Thy tacklings
are loosed;
they could not well
strengthen
their mast,
they could not spread

then is the prey
of a great
spoil
divided;
the lame
take
the prey.
