¹ O give thanks to Jehovah, for He is good; for His mercy endures forever. ² O give thanks to the God of gods; for His mercy endures forever. ³ O give thanks to the Lord of lords; for His mercy endures forever; ⁴ to Him who alone does great wonders; for His mercy endures forever; ⁵ to Him who by wisdom made the heavens; for His mercy endures forever; ⁶ to Him who spread the earth on the waters; for His mercy endures forever; ⁷ to Him who made great lights; for His mercy endures forever; ⁸ the sun to rule by day; for His mercy endures forever; ⁹ the moon and the stars to rule by night; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁰ to Him who struck Egypt in her first-born; for His mercy endures forever; ¹¹ and brought Israel out from among them; for His mercy endures forever; ¹² with a strong hand and a stretched out arm; for His mercy endures forever; ¹³ to Him who divided the Sea of Reeds into parts; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁴ and made Israel pass through the middle of it; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁵ but shook Pharaoh and his army off in the Sea of Reeds; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁶ to Him who led His people in the wilderness; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁷ to Him who struck great kings; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁸ and killed majestic kings; for His mercy endures forever; ¹⁹ Sihon, king of the Amorites; for His mercy endures forever; ²⁰ and Og, the king of Bashan; for His mercy endures forever; ²¹ and gave their land for an inheritance; for His mercy endures forever; ²² an inheritance to His servant Israel; for His mercy endures forever; ²³ who remembered us in our low estate; for His mercy endures forever; ²⁴ and has rescued us from our enemies; for His mercy endures forever; ²⁵ who gives food to all flesh; for His mercy endures forever. ²⁶ O give thanks to the God of Heaven; for His mercy endures forever.

¹ A Psalm of David. Blessed be Jehovah my Rock, who teaches my hands for war, my fingers for battle. ² He is my mercy and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield, and in Him I take refuge, in Him who humbles my people under me.

⁶ And they shall speak of the might of Your awesome works, and I will declare Your greatness. ⁷ They shall express the memory of Your great goodness, and they shall sing of Your righteousness. ⁸ Jehovah is gracious and merciful, long to anger and of great mercy; ⁹ Jehovah is good to all; and His tender mercies are over all His works. ¹⁰ All Your works shall thank You, O Jehovah; and Your saints shall bless You.

¹⁰ The name of Jehovah is a tower of strength, the righteous runs into it and is set on high.

⁴ For You are a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from storm, a shadow from heat; because the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall.

¹ In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah: A strong city is ours; He sets up salvation as our walls and rampart. ² Open the gates, and the righteous nation shall come in, keeping faithfulness. ³ You will keep in perfect peace the mind stayed on You, for he trusts in You. ⁴ Trust in Jehovah forever, for in Jah Jehovah is everlasting strength.

² And a man shall be a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the tempest, as streams of water in a dry place; like the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

³ And they said to him, So says Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and reproach, and contempt. For sons have come to the breach and there is no strength to give birth. ⁴ It may be Jehovah your God will hear the words of the chief of the cupbearers whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and rebuke against the words which Jehovah your God has heard. And you shall lift up prayer for the remnant that is found.

⁷ Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah, and Jehovah is his trust. ⁸ For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters. It sends out its roots by the stream, and it will not fear when the heat comes; but its foliage will be green; and it is not anxious in the year of drought, nor will it cease from yielding fruit.

¹¹ the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those saying, Praise Jehovah of Hosts, for Jehovah is good, for His mercy endures forever; those who shall bring the sacrifice of thanksgiving into the house of Jehovah. For I will bring back the captivity of the land, as at the first, says Jehovah.

²⁵ Jehovah is good to those waiting on Him, to the soul seeking Him.

²⁸ {cf9 : Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His Angel and has delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and have changed the king's words, and have given their bodies that they might not serve nor worship any god except their own God.}

²³ Then the king was exceedingly happy for him. And he commanded to bring up Daniel from the den. And Daniel was brought out of the den, and no harm was found on him, because he trusted in his God.

²³ And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; "depart from Me, those working lawlessness!" Psa. 6:8

⁴³ He trusted on God. Let Him rescue him now, if He desires him. For he said, I am Son of God.

¹⁴ I am the Good Shepherd, and I know those that are Mine, and I am known by the ones that are Mine.

²⁷ My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

²² Behold, then, the kindness and severity of God: On those having fallen, severity. But on you, kindness, if you continue in the kindness. Otherwise, you will also be cut off.

⁹ But now, knowing God, but rather being known by God, how do you turn again to the weak and poor elements to which you desire again to slave anew?

¹⁹ However, the foundation of God stands firm, having this seal, " The Lord knew those being His;" Num. 16:5, also, Let everyone naming the name of Christ depart from unrighteousness.

⁸ The one who does not love has not known God, because God is love. ⁹ By this the love of God was revealed in us, because His Son, the Only begotten, God has sent into the world that we might live through Him. ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be a propitiation relating to our sins.

¹⁵ Terrors are turned on me; they pursue my soul like the wind, and my goods pass away like a cloud.

¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness; they do not know at what they stumble.

⁷ Behold, therefore the Lord also brings on them the channels of the River, mighty and many: the king of Assyria and all his glory. And he shall come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks. ⁸ And he shall pass through Judah. He shall overflow and go over. He shall reach to the neck; and his wings will be stretching out, filling the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.

²² And they shall look to the land. And, behold, trouble and darkness and gloom of anguish; and they are driven to darkness.

¹⁷ And I will lay justice for a line, and righteousness for a plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of the lie; and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

¹⁶ Give glory to Jehovah your God before He brings darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains. Yea, while you look for light, He puts it into death shade, setting up deep gloom.

¹³ So the Lord Jehovah says this: I will even break in My fury with a raging wind. And there shall be a flooding rain in My anger, and hailstones in fury, to consume it.

²⁶ And after sixty two weeks, Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the people of a coming prince shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end shall be with the flood, and ruins are determined, and war shall be until the end.

¹⁰ But his sons shall be stirred up and shall gather a multitude of great forces. And one certainly shall come and overflow and pass through. And he will return to his fortress and be stirred up.

²² And the forces of the overflow shall be swept from before his face, and they will be broken, and also the ruler of a covenant.

⁴⁰ And at the end time, the king of the south will engage in butting with him. And the king of the north shall come against him like a tempest, with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships. And he shall go into the lands and shall overflow and pass over.

⁸ Shall not the land tremble for this, and all who dwell in it mourn? And all of it shall rise up like the light, and it shall overflow and sink like the Nile of Egypt.

⁵ And the Lord Jehovah of hosts is He who touches the earth so that it melts, and all dwelling in it shall mourn. And all of it will rise up like the Nile, and sink down like the Nile of Egypt. ⁶ It is He who builds His staircase in the heavens, and He has founded His binding heavens on the earth; He who calls for the seawater and pours them out on the face of the earth, Jehovah is His name.

¹ The burden of Nineveh: The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

²⁷ and the rain came down, and the rivers came up, and the winds blew and beat against that house; and it fell, and great was the fall of it.

¹² but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

⁶ through which the world which then was, being flooded by water, perished. ⁷ But the heavens and the earth now, having been stored up by the same word, are being kept for fire to a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

¹² In that day I will confirm to Eli all that I have spoken to his house, beginning and making an end.

⁸ And Abishai said to David, God has shut up your enemy into your hand today. And now, I beg you, let me strike him with a spear, even to the earth one time, and I will not repeat it to him.

¹⁰ And Amasa was not on guard against the sword in Joab's hand. And he struck him with it, to the belly, and poured out his bowels to the ground, and did not strike him again. And he died. And Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

¹ Why have the nations raged and the peoples are meditating on vanity? ² The kings of the earth set themselves; yea, the rulers have plotted together against Jehovah and His anointed, saying, ³ We will break their bands in two, and throw off their cords from us. ⁴ He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; Jehovah shall mock at them.

¹¹ For they stretched forth evil against You; they imagined a plot; they cannot prevail,

¹⁰ Jehovah brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.

³⁰ There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel before Jehovah.

⁹ O peoples, suffer evil, and be broken! And listen, all from the far places of the earth; gird yourselves, and be broken. Gird yourselves and be broken! ¹⁰ Counsel a counsel, and it is frustrated; speak a word, and it shall not rise; for God is with us.

¹⁰ So says the Lord Jehovah: And it shall be in that day, words shall come up into your heart, and you shall devise an evil plan. ¹¹ And you shall say, I will go up to the land of open spaces. I will go to those at ease, who live securely, all of them living with no walls, and there are no bars and gates to them,

¹¹ One who devises evil against Jehovah has come forth from you, one counseling worthlessness.

²⁵ who through the mouth of Your servant David said, "Why did the nations rage, and the people meditated foolish things. ²⁶ The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were assembled on the same day against the Lord, yea, against His Christ." Psa. 2:1, 2 ²⁷ For truly both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the nations and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together against Your holy child Jesus, whom You anointed, ²⁸ to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel before-determined to be done.

⁵ pulling down imaginations and every high thing lifting up itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought into the obedience of Christ,

³⁶ And Abigail came to Nabal. And, behold, he was at a feast in his house, like the feast of the king. And Nabal's heart felt good within him, and he was drunk to excess. And she did not tell him a word, more or less, until the light of the morning.

²⁸ And Absalom commanded his young men, saying, Now watch when Amnon's heart is glad with wine, and when I say to you, Strike Amnon, you shall kill him. Do not fear. Did not I command you? Be strong, and be valiant.

⁶ As to the ungodly, all of them shall be as a thorn driven away; for they cannot be taken by the hand; ⁷ but the man who shall touch them must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear; they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.

² As smoke is driven away, You drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked perish in God's presence.

²⁴ So, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and the flame burns up the chaff; their root shall be like rottenness, and their blossoms shall go up like dust, because they have cast away the law of Jehovah of Hosts; and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁸ For wickedness burns like a fire; it shall devour the briers and thorns and shall kindle the thickets of the forest; and they shall roll upward, like the going up of smoke.

¹⁷ And the Light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it shall burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day. ¹⁸ And He shall consume the glory of his forest and his fruitful field, even from soul to flesh; and it shall be as a sick man melts away. ¹⁹ And the rest of the trees of the forest shall be few, so that a boy might write them.

³⁹ In their heat, I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunk so that they rejoice and sleep a never ending sleep and never awaken, says Jehovah.

⁵⁷ And I will make her rulers drunk, also her wise ones, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a never-ending sleep, and not awaken, says the King whose name is Jehovah of Hosts.

⁴ The best of them is like a thorn; the upright more than a hedge of thorns. The day of your watchers, your visitation is coming; now their shame shall be.

¹¹ You also shall be drunken; you shall be hidden; you also shall seek a fortress from the enemy.

¹ For, behold, the day is coming, burning like a fire pot; and all the proud and every doer of wickedness shall be chaff. And the coming day will set them ablaze, says Jehovah of hosts, which will not leave root or branches to them.

² For you yourselves know accurately the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. ³ For when they say, Peace and safety! Then suddenly destruction comes upon them, like travail to the pregnant woman, and they shall not at all escape.

¹² And the sons of Eli were sons of worthlessness; they did not know Jehovah.

¹ And a man of worthlessness happened to be there, and his name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a man of Benjamin. And he blew the ram's horn and said, We have no part in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Each man to his tents, O Israel.

¹³ And in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib the king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and captured them. ¹⁴ And Hezekiah the king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria, to Lachish, saying, I have offended, turn back from me; that which you put on me I will bear. And the king of Assyria laid on Hezekiah the king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

³⁰ and do not let Hezekiah make you trust to Jehovah, saying, Jehovah shall surely deliver us; and, This city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

²² Whom have you reproached and reviled? Against whom have you lifted up a voice? Yea, you have lifted up your eyes on high, even against the Holy One of Israel! ²³ By the hand of your messengers, you have defamed the Lord, and have said, With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and I will cut down the height of its cedars, the best of its firs, and I will enter into the furthest dwelling, its densest forest; ²⁴ I have dug and drunk strange waters, and I dried up with the sole of my feet all the rivers of Egypt. ²⁵ Have you not heard from afar, I made it? From days of old I formed it. Now I have caused it to come, that you should make fortified cities desolate ruin heaps.

⁷ And vain men gathered to him, sons of worthlessness, and they made themselves strong against Rehoboam the son of Solomon; and Rehoboam was a youth and tender of heart, and could not be strong against them.

¹⁵ And now, do not let Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this way, nor believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand, from the hand of my fathers; also, surely your god shall not deliver you from my hand. ¹⁶ And again his servants spoke against Jehovah God, and against His servant Hezekiah. ¹⁷ And he had written letters to blaspheme Jehovah, the God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, As the gods of the nations of the lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah shall not deliver His people from my hand. ¹⁸ And they called with a great voice in Jewish, against the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and to terrify them, that they might capture the city. ¹⁹ And they spoke against the God of Jerusalem as against the gods of the peoples of the land, the work of the hands of man.

⁷ Yet he does not purpose this, nor does his heart think so. For it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off not a few nations. ⁸ For he says, Are not my commanders all like kings? ⁹ Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is Hamath not like Arpad? Is Samaria not like Damascus? ¹⁰ As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols (for their carved images excelled Jerusalem's and Samaria's); ¹¹ shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols as I have done to Samaria and her idols? ¹² And it will be, when the Lord has broken off all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will visit on the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his lofty eyes. ¹³ For he says, I have worked by the strength of my hand and by my wisdom; for I am wise. And I take away the borders of peoples, and have robbed their treasures. And like a mighty one, I subdue inhabitants. ¹⁴ And my hand has found the riches of the people. Like a nest, I also have gathered all the earth, as forsaken eggs are gathered. And there was not one moving a wing, or opening a mouth, or one chirping. ¹⁵ Shall the axe glorify itself over him chopping with it? Or shall the saw magnify itself over him moving it? As if a rod could wave those who lift it . As if a staff could raise what is not wood!

⁹ What are you plotting against Jehovah? He will make an utter end; distress shall not rise up a second time.

¹² And I will pass through in the land of Egypt in this night. And I will strike every first born in the land of Egypt, from man even to livestock. And I will execute judgments on all the gods of Egypt. I am Jehovah!

³⁵ And it happened in that night, that the Angel of Jehovah went out and struck a hundred and eighty five thousand in the camp of Assyria; and they rose up early in the morning, and behold, all of them were dead bodies.

³⁷ And it happened, as he was bowing himself in the house of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And his son Esarhaddon reigned in his place.

²⁰ In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired, Beyond the River, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet, and also it shall sweep away the beard.

⁸ And he shall pass through Judah. He shall overflow and go over. He shall reach to the neck; and his wings will be stretching out, filling the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.

³² Yet he remains in Nob today; he will shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. ³³ Behold, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, shall lop the bough of terror! And the lofty ones shall be cut down, and the proud shall be humbled. ³⁴ And He shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.

²⁴ Jehovah of Hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so it shall be; and as I have purposed, it shall rise up; ²⁵ to break Assyria in My land, and trample him on My mountains. Then his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden shall depart from his shoulders. ²⁶ This is the purpose that is purposed on all the earth; and this the hand that is stretched out on all the nations. ²⁷ For Jehovah of Hosts has purposed. And who shall reverse it ? And His hand is stretched out. Who shall turn it back?

¹⁴ At the time of evening, behold, terror! Before it is morning, it shall not be . This is the portion of those robbing us, and the lot of those plundering us.

¹⁹ For the people shall live in Zion, at Jerusalem; you shall surely cry no more. He surely will be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. When He hears, He will answer you.

²⁸ And like an overflowing torrent, His breath shall divide to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity, and a misleading bridle on the jaws of the peoples. ²⁹ The song shall be to you, as the night when the feast is sanctified, and gladness of heart, as one going with the flute, to come into the mount of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel. ³⁰ And Jehovah shall make the majesty of His voice heard; and He shows His arm coming down with raging anger and flame of consuming fire, cloudburst and storm, and hailstones. ³¹ For through the voice of Jehovah, Assyria shall be crushed, the rod with which He strikes. ³² And every passage of the appointed staff that Jehovah causes to rest on him will be with timbrels and with harps. And in brandishing battles He fights with her. ³³ For Topheth is ordained from yesterday. Also, it is prepared for the king; He deepened; He widened its pyre; He makes great with fire and wood. The breath of Jehovah burns in it like a torrent of brimstone.

⁸ Then Assyria shall fall by a sword, not of man; yea, a sword, not of man, shall devour him. For he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become forced labor.

³⁶ Then the Angel of Jehovah went out and struck a hundred and eighty five thousand in the camp of Assyria. And they rose early in the morning; and, behold! They were all dead corpses.

²² So says your Lord Jehovah and your God, He strives for His people. Behold, I have taken the cup of reeling out of your hand, the bowl of the cup of My fury; you shall not yet again drink it.

¹⁸ Violence shall not still be heard in your land, or wasting and ruin within your borders; but you shall call your walls, Salvation, and your gates, Praise. ¹⁹ The sun shall not still be your light by day, or the brightness of the moon give you light; but Jehovah shall be for everlasting light to you, and your God for your beauty. ²⁰ Your sun shall not set any more; and your moon shall not withdraw; for Jehovah will become your everlasting light; and the days of your mourning shall end.

³¹ For the Lord will not cast off forever. ³² For though He causes grief, He will have pity according to His many kindnesses.

¹⁹ Yea, Jehovah will answer and say to His people, Behold, I will send you grain, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with it. And I will no more make you a curse among the nations.

¹⁵ Behold! The feet of Him bearing good news is on the mountains, making heard, Peace! O Judah, celebrate your feasts; fulfill your vows; for the worthless will not continue to pass through among you; he is completely cut off.

¹⁶ And they will not hunger still, nor will they thirst still, nor at all shall fall on them the sun, nor any kind of heat.

¹⁴ He brought them out from darkness and the shadow of death; and He broke their bands apart.

⁴ For You have broken his burdensome yoke and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his taskmaster, as in the day of Midian.

²⁷ And it shall be in that day, his burden shall turn away from on your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck; and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

²⁵ to break Assyria in My land, and trample him on My mountains. Then his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden shall depart from his shoulders.

²⁰ For long ago you broke your yoke and tore up your bonds. And you said, I will not transgress, when on every high hill and under every green tree you lay down like a harlot.

⁵ I will go up for myself to the great men and will speak to them. For they have known the way of Jehovah, the judgment of their God. Surely these have joined in breaking the yoke; they have torn off the bonds.

⁵ And this One shall be peace. When Assyria shall come into our land, and when he shall walk in our palaces, then we shall raise against him seven shepherds and eight anointed ones of man. ⁶ And they shall mar the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod at her entrances. And He shall deliver us from Assyria, when he comes into our land, and when he treads within our border.

³⁰ And I shall destroy your high places and cut down your altars, and shall put your dead bodies on the carcasses of your idols. And My soul shall loathe you.

¹³ And I declare to him that I am judging his house forever, for the iniquity which he has known; for his sons have been making themselves vile, and he has not restrained them.

¹³ let his posterity be cut off; let their name be blotted out in the following generation;

⁷ The memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall rot.

²⁰ You shall not be united with them in burial, because you ruined your land; you have slain your people; the seed of evildoers shall never be named. ²¹ Prepare for the slaughter of his sons, for the iniquity of their fathers; that they may not rise and possess the land and fill the face of the earth with cities. ²² For I will rise against them, says Jehovah of Hosts, and cut off the name and remnant, the son and grandson, from Babylon, declares Jehovah.

¹³ Distant ones, hear what I have done; and you near ones, know My might.

¹ Bel has bowed; Nebo stoops; their idols are for the beast, and for the cattle; your things carried are loads; a burden for the weary. ² They stoop; they bow together; they are not able to deliver the burden; and their soul has gone into captivity.

² Declare among the nations, and make them hear, and lift up a banner. Make them hear, do not hide it; say, Babylon is captured, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is broken in pieces, her images are put to shame, her idols are broken in pieces.

²² There is Assyria and all her assembly. All around him are his graves, all of them are slain, fallen by the sword; ²³ of whom are given her graves in the recesses of the Pit, and her assembly is all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, because they gave terror in the land of the living.

²¹ And a despised one shall stand up on his place, and they shall not give to him the honor of the king. But he shall come in while at ease and take the kingdom by intrigues.

¹³ And I also will cut off your graven images and your pillars from your midst. And you shall not any more worship the work of your hands.

⁴ because of the many harlotries of the well favored harlot, the mistress of sorceries who sells nations by her harlotries, and families by her sorceries. ⁵ Behold, I am against you, declares Jehovah of hosts, and I will uncover your skirts over your face, and I will cause the nations to see your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame. ⁶ And I will cast filth on you and will disgrace you. And I will set you as a spectacle.

² Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, The appointed feasts of Jehovah which you shall proclaim, holy gatherings, shall be these: These are My appointed seasons:

⁴ These are appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy gatherings which you shall proclaim in their appointed seasons:

⁸ Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of man.

¹⁵ Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of man.

²¹ Let them thank Jehovah for His mercy, and His wonders to the sons of man. ²² And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and recount His works with rejoicing.

¹² What shall I return to Jehovah for His benefits to me? ¹³ I will lift up the cup of salvation, and I will call on the name of Jehovah. ¹⁴ I will pay my vows to Jehovah now in the presence of all His people.

¹⁷ I will sacrifice to You the sacrifice of thanks and will call on the name of Jehovah. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows to Jehovah now in the presence of all His people,

⁷ And the multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, even all battling her and compressing her and her stronghold, shall be like a dream of a night vision. ⁸ It shall even be as when a hungry one dreams; and, behold, he is eating; but when he awakes, his soul is empty. Or it shall be as when a thirsty one dreams; and, behold, he is drinking, but when he awakes, he is faint, and his soul is longing. So shall be the multitude of all the nations who fight against Mount Zion.

³⁶ Then the Angel of Jehovah went out and struck a hundred and eighty five thousand in the camp of Assyria. And they rose early in the morning; and, behold! They were all dead corpses. ³⁷ And Sennacherib, king of Assyria, set out, and went and returned; and he lived at Nineveh. ³⁸ And it happened as he was worshiping in the house of his god Nisroch, even his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword. And they escaped into the land of Ararat. And his son Esarhaddon reigned in his place.

⁹ You who bring good news to Zion, go up for yourself on the high mountain, bringer of good news to Zion. Lift up your voice with strength, bringer of good news to Jerusalem. Lift up; do not fear. Say to the cities of Judah, Behold! Your God! ¹⁰ Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come with strength, and His arm rules for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him, and His wage before Him.

¹ Awake! Awake! Put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy city. For never again shall uncircumcised and unclean ones come to you.

⁷ How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him bringing good news, making peace heard, bringing good news, proclaiming salvation; saying to Zion, Your God reigns!

¹⁷ And you shall know that I am Jehovah your God dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. And Jerusalem shall be a holy thing, and aliens shall no more pass through her.

¹¹ One who devises evil against Jehovah has come forth from you, one counseling worthlessness. ¹² So says Jehovah, Though secure, and so many, yet they will be cut off and will vanish. And though I have afflicted you, I will not afflict you any more.

¹⁴ And Jehovah has commanded concerning you. Not one of your name shall be sown any more; I will cut off the carved image and the molten image out of the house of your gods; I will appoint your grave, for you are despised.

¹⁰ And the angel said to them, Do not fear. For, behold, I announce good news to you, a great joy, which will be to all people,

¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth, good will among men.

³⁶ The Word which He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, this One is Lord of all.

¹⁵ And how may they preach if they are not sent? Even as it has been written, "How beautiful" "the feet of those announcing the gospel of peace, of those announcing the gospel of good things." Isa. 52:7
