Rh :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 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 is our Judge,
 * The is our Lawgiver,
 * The 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.


 * Come near, ye nations, to hear, And attend, ye peoples;
 * Let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof,
 * The world, and all things that come forth of it.
 * For the hath indignation against all the nations,
 * And fury against all their host;
 * He hath utterly destroyed them,
 * He hath delivered them to the slaughter.
 * Their slain also shall be cast out,
 * And the stench of their carcasses shall come up,
 * And the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
 * And all the host of heaven shall moulder away,
 * And the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll;
 * And all their host shall fall down,
 * As the leaf falleth off from the vine,
 * And as a falling fig from the fig-tree.
 * For My sword hath drunk its fill in heaven;
 * Behold, it shall come down upon Edom,
