But the Lord says:\par “Bad people stole from the poor people.\par They took things from helpless people.\par But now I will stand and defend those weary (tired) people.”\par
Lord, get up {\cf2\super [37]} and show your anger!\par My enemy is angry,\par so stand and fight against him.\par Lord, get up and demand fairness!\par
Be happy because the Lord is coming.\par The Lord is coming to rule {\cf2\super [529]} the world.\par He will rule the world with justice\par and fairness.\par
Arm (power) of the Lord, wake up!\par Wake up! Be strong!\par Use your strength\par like you did a long time ago,\par like you have from ancient times.\par You are the power that defeated Rahab.\par You defeated the Dragon. {\cf2\super [418]} \par
I mean, all of the faithful people are gone.\par There are no good people left\par in this country.\par Every person is waiting to kill someone.\par Every person is trying to trap his brother.\par
The Lord said, “So just wait! Wait for me to stand and judge you. I have the right to bring people from many nations and use them to punish you. I will use those people to show my anger against you. I will use them to show how upset I am—and the whole country will be destroyed!
