⁷ On this mountain he will destroy
    the shroud^(A) that enfolds all peoples,^(B)
the sheet that covers all nations;
⁸     he will swallow up death^(C) forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears^(D)
    from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace^(E)
    from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.^(F)

“Surely this is our God;^(H)
    we trusted^(I) in him, and he saved^(J) us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
    let us rejoice^(K) and be glad in his salvation.”^(L)

¹⁵ Truth^(A) is nowhere to be found,
    and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.

The Lord looked and was displeased
    that there was no justice.^(B)
16 He saw that there was no one,^(C)
    he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;^(D)
so his own arm achieved salvation^(E) for him,
    and his own righteousness^(F) sustained him.
