³ When my spirit grows faint^(F) within me,
    it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
    people have hidden a snare for me.
⁴ Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
    no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;^(G)
    no one cares^(H) for my life.

⁵ I cry to you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my refuge,^(I)
    my portion^(J) in the land of the living.”^(K)

⁶ Listen to my cry,^(L)
    for I am in desperate need;^(M)
rescue me^(N) from those who pursue me,
    for they are too strong^(O) for me.
⁷ Set me free from my prison,^(P)
    that I may praise your name.^(Q)
Then the righteous will gather about me
    because of your goodness to me.^(R)

“I will restore David’s^(A) fallen shelter^(B)—
    I will repair its broken walls
    and restore its ruins^(C)—
    and will rebuild it as it used to be,^(D)
12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom^(E)
    and all the nations that bear my name,^[a](F)”
declares the Lord, who will do these things.^(G)

“when the reaper^(I) will be overtaken by the plowman^(J)
    and the planter by the one treading^(K) grapes.
New wine^(L) will drip from the mountains
    and flow from all the hills,^(M)
14     and I will bring^(N) my people Israel back from exile.^[b](O)

“They will rebuild the ruined cities^(P) and live in them.
    They will plant vineyards^(Q) and drink their wine;
    they will make gardens and eat their fruit.^(R)
15 I will plant^(S) Israel in their own land,^(T)
    never again to be uprooted^(U)
    from the land I have given them,”^(V)

says the Lord your God.^(W)

“‘We played the pipe for you,
    and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
    and you did not cry.’
