49 Hear this, all peoples;
Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,

^34 (A)Blessed is the man who listens to me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.

³ Incline your ear, and ^(A)come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
^(B)And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The ^(C)sure mercies of David.

⁹ Rise up, you women ^(A)who are at ease,
Hear my voice;
You complacent daughters,
Give ear to my speech.

²³ Give ear and hear my voice,
Listen and hear my speech.
