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

In the desert prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

The desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth's inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; on those who lived in a land of deep shadow a light has shone. For the yoke that was weighing upon them and the burden upon their shoulders, thou hast broken in pieces O God.

Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.

The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled).
