Be instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul depart from you; Lest I make you desolate, A land not inhabited."

Who [is] wise? Let him understand these things. [Who is] prudent? Let him know them. For the ways of the LORD [are] right; The righteous walk in them, But transgressors stumble in them.

And the daughter of Tyre [will come] with a gift; The rich among the people will seek your favor.

The kings of Tarshish and of the isles Will bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba Will offer gifts.

Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him; All nations shall serve Him.

Kings shall be your foster fathers, And their queens your nursing mothers; They shall bow down to you with [their] faces to the earth, And lick up the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I [am] the LORD, For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me."

So shall He sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at Him; For what had not been told them they shall see, And what they had not heard they shall consider.

The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.

" The sons of foreigners shall build up your walls, And their kings shall minister to you; For in My wrath I struck you, But in My favor I have had mercy on you.

Therefore your gates shall be open continually; They shall not be shut day or night, That [men] may bring to you the wealth of the Gentiles, And their kings in procession.

A Psalm of Asaph. God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods.

Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy.

They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable.

But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes."
