    let the villages of Kedar rejoice!
Let the people of Sela sing for joy;

    Those in the west praise the Lord’s majesty.
15 In eastern lands, give glory to the Lord.

16 We hear songs of praise from the ends of the earth,
    songs that give glory to the Righteous One!

    Weep for me, for I wither away.
Deceit still prevails,
    and treachery is everywhere.
