14. Afraid in Zion have been sinners, Seized hath trembling the profane: Who doth dwell for us--consuming fire, Who doth dwell for us--burnings of the age?
15. Whoso is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil,
16. He high places doth inhabit, Strongholds of rock [are] his high tower, His bread hath been given, his waters stedfast.
17. A king in his beauty, see do thine eyes, They see a land afar off.
18. Thy heart doth meditate terror, Where [is] he who is counting? Where [is] he who is weighing? Where [is] he who is counting the towers?
19. The strong people thou seest not, A people deeper of lip than to be understood, Of a scorned tongue, there is no understanding.
20. See Zion, the city of our meetings, Thine eyes see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, A tent not taken down, Not removed are its pins for ever, And none of its cords are broken.
21. But there mighty [is] Jehovah for us, A place of rivers--streams broad of sides, No ship with oars doth go into it, And a mighty ship doth not pass over it.
22. For Jehovah our judge, Jehovah our lawgiver, Jehovah our king--He doth save us.
23. Left have been thy ropes, They strengthen not rightly their mast, They have not spread out a sail, Then apportioned hath been a prey of much spoil, The lame have taken spoil.
24. Nor doth an inhabitant say, `I was sick,' The people that is dwelling in it, is forgiven of iniquity!
