¹³ Hear, you who are far away, what I have done;
   and you who are near, acknowledge my might.
¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid;
   trembling has seized the godless:
‘Who among us can live with the devouring fire?
   Who among us can live with everlasting flames?’
¹⁵ Those who walk righteously and speak uprightly,
   who despise the gain of oppression,
who wave away a bribe instead of accepting it,
   who stop their ears from hearing of bloodshed
   and shut their eyes from looking on evil,
¹⁶ they will live on the heights;
   their refuge will be the fortresses of rocks;
   their food will be supplied, their water assured.

¹⁷ Your eyes will see the king in his beauty;
   they will behold a land that stretches far away.
¹⁸ Your mind will muse on the terror:
   ‘Where is the one who counted?
   Where is the one who weighed the tribute?
   Where is the one who counted the towers?’
¹⁹ No longer will you see the insolent people,
   the people of an obscure speech that you cannot comprehend,
   stammering in a language that you cannot understand.
²⁰ Look on Zion, the city of our appointed festivals!
   Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
   a quiet habitation, an immovable tent,
whose stakes will never be pulled up,
   and none of whose ropes will be broken.
²¹ But there the Lord in majesty will be for us
   a place of broad rivers and streams,
where no galley with oars can go,
   nor stately ship can pass.
²² For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our ruler,
   the Lord is our king; he will save us.
