* Woe to thee that spoilest , and thou wast not spoiled ; and dealest treacherously , and they dealt not treacherously with thee ! When thou hast ceased to spoil , thou shalt be spoiled ; and when thou art weary with dealing 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 peoples are fled ; at the lifting up of Thyself the nations are scattered . * And your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathereth ; as locusts leap do they leap upon it . * The LORD is exalted , for He dwelleth on high ; He hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness . * And the stability of thy times shall be a hoard of salvation--wisdom and knowledge , and the fear of the LORD which is His treasure . * Behold , their valiant ones cry without ; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly . * The highways lie waste , the wayfaring man ceaseth ; he hath broken the covenant , he hath despised the cities , he regardeth not man . * The land mourneth and languisheth ; Lebanon is ashamed , it withereth ; Sharon is like a wilderness ; and Bashan and Carmel are clean bare . * Now will I arise , saith the LORD ; now will I be exalted ; now will I lift Myself up . * Ye conceive chaff , ye shall bring forth stubble ; your breath is a fire that shall devour you . * And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime ; as thorns cut down , that are 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 ; trembling hath seized the ungodly : '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 looking upon evil ; * He shall dwell on high ; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks ; his bread shall be given , his waters shall be sure . * Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty ; they shall behold a land stretching afar . * Thy heart shall muse on the terror : 'Where is he that counted , where is he that weighed ? Where is he that counted the towers ?' * Thou shalt not see the fierce people ; a people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive , of a stammering tongue that thou canst not understand . * Look upon Zion , the city of our solemn gatherings ; thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a peaceful habitation , a tent that shall not be removed , the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up , neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken . * But there the LORD will be with us in majesty , in a place of broad rivers and streams ; wherein shall go no galley with oars , neither shall gallant ship pass thereby . * For the LORD is our Judge , the LORD is our Lawgiver , the LORD is our King ; He will save us . * Thy tacklings are loosed ; they do not hold the stand of their mast , they do not spread the sail ; then is the prey of a great spoil divided ; the lame take the prey . * And the inhabitant shall not say : 'I am sick '; the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity .
