⁸ Your hand will ^(M)find out all your enemies;
    your right hand will find out those who hate you.
⁹ You will make them as ^(N)a blazing oven
    when you appear.
The Lord will swallow them up in his ^(O)wrath,
    and ^(P)fire will consume them.
¹⁰ You ^(Q)will destroy their ^(R)descendants from the earth,
    and their offspring from among the children of man.
¹¹ Though they plan evil against you,
    though they ^(S)devise mischief, they will not succeed.
¹² For you will put them ^(T)to flight;
    you will ^(U)aim at their faces with your bows.

¹³ Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength!
    We will sing and praise your power.

^4 (G)The earth mourns and withers;
    the world languishes and withers;
    the highest people of the earth languish.
⁵ The earth lies ^(H)defiled
    under its inhabitants;
for ^(I)they have transgressed the laws,
    violated the statutes,
    broken the everlasting covenant.
⁶ Therefore ^(J)a curse devours the earth,
    and its inhabitants ^(K)suffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched,
    and few men are left.
^7 (L)The wine mourns,
    the vine languishes,
    all the merry-hearted sigh.
^8 (M)The mirth of the tambourines is stilled,
    the noise of the jubilant has ceased,
    the mirth of the lyre is stilled.
⁹ No more do they drink wine ^(N)with singing;
    strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
^10 (O)The wasted city is broken down;
    ^(P)every house is shut up so that none can enter.
^11 (Q)There is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine;
    ^(R)all joy has grown dark;
    the gladness of the earth is banished.
¹² Desolation is left in the city;
    the gates are battered into ruins.
¹³ For thus it shall be in the midst of the earth
    among the nations,
^(S)as when an olive tree is beaten,
    as at the gleaning when the grape harvest is done.

¹⁴ They lift up their voices, they sing for joy;
    over the majesty of the Lord they shout from the west.^[b]
15 (T)Therefore in the east^[c] give glory to the Lord;
    in the coastlands of the sea, give glory to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
^16 (U)From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise,
    of glory to ^(V)the Righteous One.
But I say, “I waste away,
    I waste away. Woe is me!
For ^(W)the traitors have betrayed,
    with betrayal the traitors have betrayed.”
