All the nations have come round me; but in the name of the Lord I will have them cut down.
They are round me all the day like water; they have made a circle about me.
By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off.
And it will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a stone of great weight for all the peoples; all those who take it up will be badly wounded; and all the nations of the earth will come together against it.
And all these kings came together, and put their forces in position at the waters of Merom, to make war on Israel.
They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.
You have sent my friends and lovers far from me; I am gone from the memory of those who are dear to me.
