⁴ He who ^[c]sits in the heavens ^(G)laughs,
The Lord ^(H)scoffs at them.
⁵ Then He will speak to them in His ^(I)anger
And ^(J)terrify them in His fury, saying,
⁶ “But as for Me, I have installed ^(K)My King
Upon Zion, ^(L)My holy mountain.”

⁷ “I will announce the ^[d]decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are ^(M)My Son,
Today I have fathered You.
⁸ Ask it of Me, and ^(N)I will certainly give ^(O)the ^[e]nations as Your inheritance,
And the ^(P)ends of the earth as Your possession.
⁹ You shall ^[f](Q)break them with a ^[g]rod of iron,
You shall ^(R)shatter them like ^[h]earthenware.’”

¹⁰ Now then, you kings, ^(S)use insight;
Let yourselves be instructed, you ^[i]judges of the earth.
¹¹ Serve the Lord with ^[j](T)reverence
And rejoice with ^(U)trembling.
^12 [k]Kiss ^(V)the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way,
For ^(W)His wrath may be kindled quickly.
How blessed are all who ^(X)take refuge in Him!

⁸ The Lord is ^(N)gracious and compassionate;
Slow to anger and great in mercy.
⁹ The Lord is ^(O)good to all,
And His ^(P)mercies are over all His works.
^10 (Q)All Your works will give thanks to You, Lord,
And Your ^(R)godly ones will bless You.
¹¹ They will speak of the ^(S)glory of Your kingdom,
And talk of Your might,
¹² To ^(T)make known to the sons of mankind ^[d]Your mighty acts,
And the ^(U)glory of the majesty of ^[e]Your kingdom.
¹³ Your kingdom is ^[f]an ^(V)everlasting kingdom,
And Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
^[g]The Lord is faithful in His words,
And holy in all His works.

¹⁴ The Lord ^(W)supports all who fall,
And ^(X)raises up all who are bowed down.
¹⁵ The eyes of all ^[h]look to You,
And You ^(Y)give them their food in due time.
¹⁶ You ^(Z)open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

¹⁷ The Lord is ^(AA)righteous in all His ways,
And kind in all His works.
¹⁸ The Lord is ^(AB)near to all who call on Him,
To all who call on Him ^(AC)in truth.
¹⁹ He will ^(AD)fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He will also ^(AE)hear their cry for help and save them.
²⁰ The Lord ^(AF)watches over all who love Him,
But He will destroy all the ^(AG)wicked.
²¹ My ^(AH)mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
And ^(AI)all flesh will ^(AJ)bless His holy name forever and ever.

^13 (A)Shout for joy, you heavens! And rejoice, you earth!
Break forth into joyful shouting, mountains!
For the ^(B)Lord has comforted His people
And will ^(C)have compassion on His afflicted.

⁴ “Fear not, for you will ^(J)not be put to shame;
And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;
But you will forget the ^(K)shame of your youth,
And no longer remember the ^(L)disgrace of your widowhood.
⁵ For your ^(M)husband is your Maker,
Whose name is the Lord of armies;
And your ^(N)Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the ^(O)God of all the earth.
⁶ For the Lord has called you,
Like a wife ^(P)forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
⁷ “^[c]For a ^(Q)brief moment I abandoned you,
But with great compassion I will ^(R)gather you.
⁸ In an ^[d](S)outburst of anger
I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting ^(T)favor I will ^(U)have compassion on you,”
Says the Lord your ^(V)Redeemer.

⁹ “For ^[e]this is like the days of Noah to Me,
When I swore that the waters of Noah
Would ^(W)not ^[f]flood the earth again;
So I have sworn that I will ^(X)not be angry with you
Nor rebuke you.
¹⁰ For the ^(Y)mountains may be removed and the hills may shake,
But My ^[g]favor will not be removed from you,
Nor will My ^(Z)covenant of peace be shaken,”
Says ^(AA)the Lord who has compassion on you.

¹¹ “^(AB)Afflicted one, storm-tossed, and ^(AC)not comforted,
Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
And I will ^(AD)lay your foundations with ^[h](AE)sapphires.
¹² Moreover, I will make your battlements of ^[i]rubies,
And your gates of ^[j]crystal,
And your entire ^[k]wall of precious stones.
^13 (AF)All your sons will be ^[l]taught by the Lord;
And the well-being of your sons will be ^(AG)great.
