All distant lands will look to me
and wait in hope for my powerful arm.

Look up to the skies above,
and gaze down on the earth below.

and the earth will wear out like a piece of clothing.
The people of the earth will die like flies,
but my salvation lasts forever.
My righteous rule will never end!

you who cherish my law in your hearts.
Do not be afraid of people’s scorn,
nor fear their insults.

the one who dried up the sea,
making a path of escape through the depths
so that your people could cross over?

Instead, I will hand that cup to your tormentors,
those who said, ‘We will trample you into the dust
and walk on your backs.’”
those who said, ‘We will trample you into the dust
and walk on your backs.’”
and I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; who have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over; and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street to them that went over.
