## Text

[1] Woe is me!
For I am like one gathering summer fruit
at the gleaning of the vineyard;
there is no cluster to eat,
no early fig that I crave. [2] The godly man has perished from the earth;
there is no one upright among men.
They all lie in wait for blood;
they hunt one another with a net. [3] Both hands are skilled at evil;
the prince and the judge demand a bribe.
When the powerful utters his evil desire,
they all conspire together. [4] The best of them is like a brier;
the most upright is sharper than a hedge of thorns.
The day for your watchmen has come,
the day of your visitation.
Now is the time of their confusion. [5] Do not rely on a friend;
do not trust in a companion.
Seal the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms. [6] For a son dishonors his father,
a daughter rises against her mother,
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
A man’s enemies are the members
of his own household. [7] But as for me, I will look to the LORD;
I will wait for the God of my salvation.
My God will hear me. [8] Do not gloat over me, my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will arise;
though I sit in darkness,
the LORD will be my light. [9] Because I have sinned against Him,
I must endure the rage of the LORD,
until He argues my case
and executes justice for me.
He will bring me into the light;
I will see His righteousness. [10] Then my enemy will see
and will be covered with shame—
she who said to me,
“Where is the LORD your God?”
My eyes will see her;
at that time she will be trampled
like mud in the streets. [11] The day for rebuilding your walls will come—
the day for extending your boundary. [12] On that day they will come to you
from Assyria and the cities of Egypt,
even from Egypt to the Euphrates,
from sea to sea and mountain to mountain. [13] Then the earth will become desolate
because of its inhabitants,
as the fruit of their deeds. [14] Shepherd with Your staff Your people,
the flock of Your inheritance.
They live alone in a woodland,
surrounded by pastures.
Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead,
as in the days of old. [15] As in the days when you came out of Egypt,
I will show My wonders. [16] Nations will see and be ashamed,
deprived of all their might.
They will put their hands over their mouths,
and their ears will become deaf. [17] They will lick the dust like a snake,
like reptiles slithering on the ground.
They will crawl from their holes
in the presence of the LORD our God;
they will tremble in fear of You. [18] Who is a God like You,
who pardons iniquity
and passes over the transgression
of the remnant of His inheritance—
who does not retain His anger forever,
because He delights in loving devotion? [19] He will again have compassion on us;
He will vanquish our iniquities.
You will cast out all our sins
into the depths of the sea. [20] You will show faithfulness to Jacob
and loving devotion to Abraham,
as You swore to our fathers
from the days of old.
