⁸ At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!

¹⁰ And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!

¹² O house of David, thus said Jehovah: Decide ye judgment at morning, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, Lest My fury go forth as fire, And hath burned, and none is quenching, Because of the evil of your doings.

⁸ As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her -- to the age. Selah.

² Beautiful `for' elevation, A joy of all the land, `is' Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king.

¹⁴ `Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city;

¹⁵ and without `are' the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie.

²⁷ and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but -- those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.

⁹ Hear this, I pray you, heads of the house of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Who are making judgment abominable, And all uprightness do pervert.

¹ And I say, `Hear, I pray you, heads of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Is it not for you to know the judgment?

² Ye who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones,

³ And who have eaten the flesh of My people, And their skin from off them have stript, And their bones they have broken, And they have spread `them' out as in a pot, And as flesh in the midst of a caldron.

⁴ Then do they cry unto Jehovah, And He doth not answer them, And hideth His face from them at that time, As they have made evil their doings.

⁸ And yesterday My people for an enemy doth raise himself up, From the outer garment the honourable ornament ye strip off, From the confident passers by, Ye who are turning back from war.

⁹ The women of My people ye cast out from its delightful house, From its sucklings ye take away My honour to the age.

¹⁰ Rise and go, for this `is' not the rest, Because of uncleanness it doth corrupt, And corruption is powerful.

³ They do not abide in the land of Jehovah, And turned back hath Ephraim `to' Egypt, And in Asshur an unclean thing they eat.

²⁶ A wise king is scattering the wicked, And turneth back on them the wheel.

⁸ A king sitting on a throne of judgment, Is scattering with his eyes all evil,

¹² An abomination to kings `is' doing wickedness, For by righteousness is a throne established.

¹⁰ All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

¹¹ They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

¹² They compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

⁴ A river -- its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
