Truth is lacking, And one who turns aside from evil ^(C1)makes himself a prey. Now the LORD saw, And it was ^(F1)displeasing in His sight ^(C2)that there was no justice.

And He saw that there was ^(C1)no one, And was amazed that there was not one to intercede; Then His ^(C2)own arm brought salvation to Him, And His righteousness upheld Him.

He put on ^(C1)righteousness like a breastplate, And a ^(C2)helmet of salvation on His head; And He put on ^(C3)garments of vengeance for clothing And wrapped Himself with ^(C4)zeal as a cloak.

^(C1)According to their deeds, ^(F1)so will He repay: Wrath to His adversaries, ^(F2)retribution to His enemies; To the coastlands He will ^(F3)deal ^(F2)retribution.

So they will fear the name of the LORD from the ^(C1)west And His glory from the ^(C2)rising of the sun, For He will ^(C3)come like a ^(F1)rushing stream Which the wind of the LORD drives.

"A ^(C1)Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those in Jacob who ^(C2)turn from wrongdoing," declares the LORD.

"As for Me, this is My ^(C1)covenant with them," says the LORD: "My ^(C2)Spirit who is upon you, and My ^(C3)words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your ^(F1)offspring, nor from the mouth of your ^(F1)offspring's offspring," says the LORD, "from now and forever."
