¹¹ Get out of the good way, turning from the right road; do not keep the Holy One of Israel before our minds.

¹⁹ And the poor will have their joy in the Lord increased, and those in need will be glad in the Holy One of Israel.

⁶ Let your voice be sounding in a cry of joy, O daughter of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.

²⁷ The God of your fathers is your safe resting-place, and under you are his eternal arms: driving out the forces of your haters from before you, he said, Let destruction overtake them.

²⁸ And Israel is living in peace, the fountain of Jacob by himself, in a land of grain and wine, with dew dropping from the heavens.

²⁹ Happy are you, O Israel: who is like you, a people whose saviour is the Lord, whose help is your cover, whose sword is your strength! All those who are against you will put themselves under your rule, and your feet will be planted on their high places.
