You who are far off, hear what I have done; * you who are near recognize my strength.

Sinners in Zion are afraid; * trembling has seized the godless

“Can any of us live with this devouring fire? * Can any of us live in endless burning?”

    The man who acts honestly and speaks the truth, * who rejects dishonest profit,

    who will not touch a bribe, * who will not hear of shedding blood, * who will not look at an evil plot:

this man will have a house on the heights; * a mountain fortress will be his refuge.

Food will be brought to him * and water in steady supply.
