From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous.

But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; Yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

Fear, and the pit, and the snare,

Are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; And he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare:

For the windows from on high are open,

And the foundations of the earth do shake.

The earth is utterly broken down,
The earth is clean dissolved,

The earth is moved exceedingly.

The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard,

And shall be removed like a cottage;

And the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it;

And it shall fall, and not rise again.

And it shall come to pass in that day,

That the Lord shall punish the host of the high

ones that are on high,

And the kings of the earth upon the earth.

And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit,

And shall be shut up in the prison,

And after many days shall they be visited.

Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun

ashamed,

When the Lord of hosts shall reign

In mount Zion, and in Jerusalem,
And before his ancients gloriously.

O LORD, thou art my God;

I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name;
For thou hast done wonderful things;

Thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
For thou hast made of a city an heap;

Of a defenced city a ruin:

A palace of strangers to be no city;
It shall never be built.

Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee,
The city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
For thou hast been a strength to the poor,

A strength to the needy in his distress,

A refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, When the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers,
As the heat in a dry place;

Even the heat with the shadow of a cloud:

The branch of the terrible ones shall be brought

low.

And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make

unto all people

A feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees,

Of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

And he will destroy in this mountain

The face of the covering cast over all people,

And the vail that is spread over all nations.
He will swallow up death in victory;

And the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces;

And the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth:

For the Lord hath spoken it.

And it shall be said in that day,

Lo, this is our God;

We have waited for him, and he will save us:
This is the Lord; we have waited for him,
We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord
rest,

And Moab shall be trodden down under him,
Even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of
them,

As he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim:

And he shall bring down their pride

Together with the spoils of their hands.

And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down,

Lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah;

We have a strong city;

Salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. Open ye the gates,

That the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,

Whose mind is stayed on thee:

Because he trusteth in thee.

Trust ye in the Lord for ever:

For in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; The lofty city, he layeth it low;

He layeth it low, even to the ground;

He bringeth it even to the dust.

The foot shall tread it down,

Even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.

The way of the just is uprightness:

Thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee;

The desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

With my soul have I desired thee in the night;
Yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early:
For when thy judgments are in the earth,
The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he
not learn righteousness:

In the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly,
And will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
Lord, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see:
But they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at
the people;

Yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us:

For thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
O Lord our God,

Other lords beside thee have had dominion over us:
But by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
They are dead, they shall not live;

They are deceased, they shall not rise:
Therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them,
And made all their memory to perish.

Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord,

Thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified:

Thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the

earth.
