34 I will bless the Lord at all times;
    his praise will always be in my mouth.
² I^[b] praise the Lord—
    let the suffering listen and rejoice.
³ Magnify the Lord with me!
    Together let us lift his name up high!
⁴ I sought the Lord and he answered me.
    He delivered me from all my fears.
⁵ Those who look to God will shine;
    their faces are never ashamed.
⁶ This suffering person cried out:
    the Lord listened and saved him from every trouble.
⁷ On every side, the Lord’s messenger protects those who honor God; and he delivers them.
⁸ Taste and see how good the Lord is!
    The one who takes refuge in him is truly happy!

3 Doom, obstinate one,
        the defiled one,
        the violent city.
² She listened to no voice;
        she accepted no discipline.
She didn’t trust in the Lord,
        nor did she draw near to her God.

⁹ Then I will change the speech of the peoples into pure speech,
        that all of them will call on the name of the Lord
        and will serve him as one.^[a]
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush,
        my daughter, my dispersed ones, will bring me offerings.
¹¹ On that day, you won’t be ashamed of all your deeds
        with which you sinned against me;
            then I will remove from your midst those boasting with pride.
No longer will you be haughty on my holy mountain,
¹²     but I will cause a humble and powerless people to remain in your midst;
        they will seek refuge in the name of the Lord.
¹³ The few remaining from Israel won’t commit injustice;
        they won’t tell lies;
        a deceitful tongue won’t be found on their lips.
            They will graze and lie down;
                no one will make them afraid.
