14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy;(A)
    from the west(B) they acclaim the Lord’s majesty.
15 Therefore in the east(C) give glory(D) to the Lord;
    exalt(E) the name(F) of the Lord, the God of Israel,
    in the islands(G) of the sea.
16 From the ends of the earth(H) we hear singing:(I)
    “Glory(J) to the Righteous One.”(K)

But I said, “I waste away, I waste away!(L)
    Woe(M) to me!
The treacherous(N) betray!
    With treachery the treacherous betray!(O)
17 Terror(P) and pit and snare(Q) await you,
    people of the earth.(R)
18 Whoever flees(S) at the sound of terror

so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion(AB)
    that it falls(AC)—never to rise again.(AD)
