But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud.

For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us.

All the earth is at rest and is quiet: they are bursting into song. Even the trees of the wood are glad over you, the trees of Lebanon, saying, From the time of your fall no wood-cutter has come up against us with an axe.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Prepare ye the way of the Lord.

I do not whisper obscurities in some dark corner. I would not have told the people of Israel to seek me if I could not be found. I, the Lord, speak only what is true and declare only what is right.

But the LORD Almighty will be exalted by his justice, and the holy God will show himself holy by his righteousness.
