12 A throne of glory(A)
on high(B) from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.(C)
13 Lord, the hope of Israel,(D)
all who abandon You
will be put to shame.
All who turn away from Me
will be written in the dirt,
for they have abandoned
the Lord, the fountain of living water.(E)

Jeremiah’s Plea

14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;
save me, and I will be saved,
for You are my praise.(F)
15 Hear how they keep challenging me,(G)
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come!”
16 But I have not run away from being Your shepherd,
and I have not longed for the fatal day.
You know my words were spoken in Your presence.
17 Don’t become a terror to me.
You are my refuge(H) in the day of disaster.
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame,(I)
but don’t let me be put to shame.
Let them be terrified, but don’t let me be terrified.
Bring on them the day of disaster;(J)
shatter them with total[a] destruction.

The Lord: The Hope of Israel

12 A glorious throne exalted from the beginning
    is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Lord, you are the hope of Israel;
    all who forsake you will be put to shame.
Those who turn aside from you[a] will be
    written in the dust,[b]
because they have forsaken the Lord,
    the spring of living water.

The Prophet’s Call for Help and Justice

14 Heal me, Lord, and I’ll be healed;
    deliver me, and I’ll be delivered,
        because you are my praise.
15 Look, they’re saying to me,
    “Where is the message from the Lord?
        Let it come about!”
16 I haven’t run away from being your shepherd,[c]
    and I haven’t longed for the day of sickness.[d]
You know what comes out from my lips,
    it’s open before you.[e]
17 Don’t be a terror to me.
    You are my refuge in a day of trouble.
18 Let those who pursue me be put to shame,
    but don’t put me to shame.
Let them be terrified,
    but don’t let me be terrified.
Bring the day of judgment[f] on them,
    and destroy them with double destruction!
