Then we will shout for joy over your victory and celebrate your triumph by praising our God. May the LORD answer all your requests.

Moses built an altar and named it "The LORD is my Banner."

He brought me to his banquet hall and raised the banner of love over me.

The Lord will raise a signal flag to show the nations that he is gathering together again the scattered people of Israel and Judah and bringing them back from the four corners of the earth.

The Sovereign LORD says to his people: "I will signal to the nations, and they will bring your children home.

From east to west everyone will fear him and his great power. He will come like a rushing river, like a strong wind.

Help us, LORD! There is not a good person left; honest people can no longer be found.

All of them lie to one another; they deceive each other with flattery.

Ride on in majesty to victory for the defense of truth and justice! Your strength will win you great victories!

Justice is driven away, and right cannot come near. Truth stumbles in the public square, and honesty finds no place there.

There is so little honesty that those who stop doing evil find themselves the victims of crime." The LORD has seen this, and he is displeased that there is no justice.

People of Jerusalem, run through your streets! Look around! See for yourselves! Search the marketplaces! Can you find one person who does what is right and tries to be faithful to God? If you can, the LORD will forgive Jerusalem.

Surely the LORD looks for faithfulness. He struck you, but you paid no attention; he crushed you, but you refused to learn. You were stubborn and would not turn from your sins.
