Woe
is me! for I am as when they have gathered
the summer fruits,
as the grapegleanings
of the vintage:
there is no cluster
to eat:
my soul
desired
the firstripe fruit.

The good
man is perished
out of the earth:
and there is none upright
among men:
they all lie in wait
for blood;
they hunt
every man
his brother
with a net.

That they may do evil
with both hands
earnestly,
the prince
asketh,
and the judge
asketh for a reward;
and the great
man, he uttereth
his mischievous
desire:
so they wrap it up.

now shall be their perplexity.

Trust
ye not in a friend,
put ye not confidence
in a guide:
keep
the doors
of thy mouth
from her that lieth
in thy bosom.
For the son
dishonoureth
the father,
the daughter
riseth up
against her mother,
the daughter in law
against her mother in law;
a man's
enemies
are the men
of his own house.
Therefore I will look
unto the LORD;
I will wait
for the God
of my salvation:
my God
will hear
me.
Rejoice
not against me, O mine enemy:
when I fall,
I shall arise;
when I sit
in darkness,
the LORD
shall be a light
unto me.
I will bear
the indignation
of the LORD,
because I have sinned
against him, until he plead
my cause,
and execute
judgment
for me: he will bring me forth
to the light,
and I shall behold
his righteousness.
Then she that is mine enemy
shall see
it, and shame
shall cover
her which said
unto me, Where is the LORD
thy God?
mine eyes
shall behold
her: now shall she be trodden down
as the mire
of the streets.

In the day

In that day

and from the fortified

and from the fortress
even to the river,
and from sea
to sea,
and from mountain

as in the days
of old.

According to the days
of thy coming
out of the land
of Egypt
will I shew
unto him marvellous
things.
The nations
shall see
and be confounded
at all their might:
they shall lay
their hand
upon their mouth,
their ears
shall be deaf.
They shall lick
the dust
like a serpent,
they shall move
out of their holes
like worms
of the earth:
they shall be afraid
of the LORD
our God,
and shall fear
because of thee.
Who is a God
like unto thee, that pardoneth
iniquity,
and passeth by
the transgression
of the remnant
of his heritage?
he retaineth
not his anger
for ever,
because he delighteth
in mercy.

he will have compassion

and thou wilt cast
all their sins
