The LORD Is Exalted
Woe to you, O destroyer never destroyed, Mat 7:2Isa 24:16Isa 10:12Isa 21:2Jer 25:12-14Oba 1:10-16Rev 17:172Ch 28:16-21
O traitor never betrayed!
When you have finished destroying,
you will be destroyed.
When you have finished betraying,
you will be betrayed.
O LORD, be gracious to us! 2Co 1:3-4Isa 30:18-19Isa 59:16Psa 60:11Psa 62:8Exo 14:27Isa 25:9Lam 3:25-26
We wait for You.
Be our strength every morning
and our salvation in time of trouble.
The peoples flee the thunder of Your voice; Isa 10:13-14Isa 10:32-34Isa 17:12-14Isa 37:11-18Isa 59:16-18Psa 46:6Isa 37:29-36
the nations scatter when You rise.
Your spoil, O nations, 1is gathered as by locusts; 2Ch 14:132Ch 20:25Isa 33:23Jol 2:25Jol 2:92Ki 7:15-16
like a swarm of locusts men sweep over it.
The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; Isa 2:17Dan 4:37Eph 1:20-21Isa 32:15-18Rev 19:2-6Rom 11:262Ch 31:20-21Exo 15:1
He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
He will be the sure foundation for your times, Psa 112:1-3Pro 19:231Ti 4:8Mat 6:33Pro 14:271Ti 6:6Ecc 7:19Isa 11:2-5
a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.
The fear of the LORD is Zion’s treasure.
Behold, their valiant ones cry aloud in the streets; 2Ki 18:182Ki 18:37Isa 36:22Isa 36:3
the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
The highways are deserted; Jdg 5:6Isa 35:81Sa 17:101Sa 17:262Ki 18:13-172Ki 18:20-21Isa 10:13-14Isa 10:29-31
travel has ceased.
The treaty 2has been broken,
the witnesses 3are despised,
and human life is disregarded.
The land mourns and languishes; Isa 35:2Isa 65:10Nam 1:4Deu 3:4Isa 1:7-8Isa 14:8Isa 2:13Isa 24:1
Lebanon is ashamed and decayed.
Sharon is like a desert;
Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
“Now I will arise,” says the LORD. Psa 12:5Psa 102:13-18Amo 6:1Isa 30:17-18Isa 42:13-14Isa 59:16-17Zep 3:8Deu 32:36-43
“Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.
You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble. Isa 59:4Psa 7:14Jas 1:15Act 5:4Isa 1:31Isa 10:7-14Isa 17:13Isa 26:18
Your breath is a fire that will consume you.
The peoples will be burned to ashes, 2Sa 23:6-7Isa 27:4Amo 2:1Isa 10:17Isa 37:36Isa 9:18
like thorns cut down and set ablaze.
You who are far off, hear what I have done; Eph 2:11-18Psa 48:10Dan 3:27Isa 49:11Sa 17:46Act 2:5-11Dan 6:25-27Isa 18:3
you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
The sinners in Zion are afraid; Heb 12:29Isa 66:24Mat 25:46Deu 5:24-25Mat 18:8Mat 25:41Rev 14:10Isa 29:13
trembling grips the ungodly:
“Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire?
Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”
He who walks righteously Psa 119:371Jn 3:7Eph 5:11-13Deu 16:19Isa 56:1-2Psa 1:1-3Psa 106:3Psa 24:4-5
and speaks with sincerity,
who refuses gain from extortion,
whose hand never takes a bribe,
who stops his ears against murderous plots
and shuts his eyes tightly against evil—
he will dwell on the heights; Luk 12:29-31Isa 32:18Isa 49:10Pro 1:33Pro 18:10Psa 107:41Psa 37:3Psa 90:1
the mountain fortress will be his refuge;
his food will be provided
and his water assured.
Your eyes will see the King in His beauty Zec 9:171Jn 3:22Co 4:18Jhn 14:21Isa 6:5Jhn 1:14Jhn 17:242Ch 32:23
and behold a land that stretches afar.
Your mind will ponder the former terror: 1Co 1:201Sa 25:33-361Sa 30:62Ki 15:192Ki 18:142Ki 18:31Gen 23:16Isa 10:16-19
“Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?”
You will no longer see the insolent, Isa 28:11Deu 28:49-50Jer 5:152Ki 19:32Exo 14:13Ezk 3:5-61Co 14:21
a people whose speech is unintelligible,
who stammer in a language you cannot understand.
Look upon Zion, Psa 46:5Isa 32:18Isa 54:2Deu 12:5Ezk 48:35Isa 37:33Mat 16:18Psa 125:1-2
the city of our appointed feasts.
Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander;
its tent pegs will not be pulled up,
nor will any of its cords be broken.
But there the Majestic One, our LORD, Psa 46:4-5Isa 41:18Isa 48:18Isa 66:122Co 4:4-6Act 7:2Psa 29:3
will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals,
where no galley with oars will row,
and no majestic vessel will pass.
For the LORD is our Judge, Act 5:31Jas 4:12Zep 3:15-17Isa 12:2Isa 25:9Isa 35:4Psa 89:18Rev 19:16
the LORD is our lawgiver,
the LORD is our King.
It is He who will save us.
Your ropes are slack; 2Ki 7:81Co 1:27Psa 68:121Sa 30:101Sa 30:22-242Ch 20:252Ki 7:16Act 27:19
they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail.
Then an abundance of spoils will be divided,
and even the lame will carry off plunder.
And no resident of Zion will say, “I am sick.” Jer 50:20Rev 21:41Jn 1:7-9Exo 15:26Isa 58:8Jas 5:14Jer 33:6-8Isa 44:22
The people who dwell there
will be forgiven of iniquity.
