The LORDis exalted,for He dwellson high;He has filledZionwith justiceand righteousness.

ThenMosesand the sonsof Israelsangthissongto the LORD,and said,"I will singto the LORD,for He is highlyexalted;The horseand its riderHe has hurledinto the sea.
"Your righthand,O LORD,is majesticin power,Your righthand,O LORD,shattersthe enemy.
"NowI knowthat the LORDis greaterthanallthe gods;indeed,it was provenwhenthey dealtproudlyagainstthe people."
And in that dayyou will say,"Givethanksto the LORD,callon His name.MakeknownHis deedsamong the peoples;Make [them] rememberthat His nameis exalted."
The proudlookof manwill be abasedAnd the loftinessof manwill be humbled,And the LORDalonewill be exaltedin that day.
The prideof manwill be humbledAnd the loftinessof menwill be abased;And the LORDalonewill be exaltedin that day,
In that daythissongwill be sungin the landof Judah:"We have a strongcity;He setsup wallsand rampartsfor security.
A spiritof justicefor him who sitsin judgment,A strengthto those who repelthe onslaughtat the gate.
Thereforethe LORDlongsto be graciousto you, And thereforeHe waits on highto havecompassionon you. For the LORDis a Godof justice;How blessedare allthose who longfor Him.
Behold,a kingwill reignrighteouslyAnd princeswill rulejustly.
"NowI will arise,"saysthe LORD,"NowI will be exalted,nowI will be liftedup.
Your spoilis gathered[as] the caterpillargathers;As locustsrushingaboutmen rushabouton it.
"Now,O LORDour God,deliverus from his handthat allthe kingdomsof the earthmay knowthat You alone,LORD,are God."
But the LORDof hostswill be exaltedin judgment,And the holyGodwill showHimself holyin righteousness.
Awake,awake,Clotheyourselfin your strength,O Zion;Clotheyourselfin your beautifulgarments,O Jerusalem,the holycity;For the uncircumcisedand the uncleanWill nolongercomeinto you.
Thussaysthe LORD,"Preservejusticeand dorighteousness,For My salvationis aboutto comeAnd My righteousnessto be revealed.
For thussaysthe highand exaltedOne Who livesforever,whose nameis Holy,"I dwell[on] a highand holyplace, And [also] with the contriteand lowlyof spiritIn order to revivethe spiritof the lowlyAnd to revivethe heartof the contrite.
"Then allyour people[will be] righteous;They will possessthe landforever,The branchof My planting,The workof My hands,That I may be glorified.
For as the earthbringsforthits sprouts,And as a gardencauses the thingssownin it to springup, Sothe LordGODwill cause righteousnessand praiseTo springup beforeallthe nations.
To grantthose who mourn[in] Zion,Givingthem a garlandinsteadof ashes,The oilof gladnessinsteadof mourning,The mantleof praiseinsteadof a spiritof fainting.So they will be calledoaksof righteousness,The plantingof the LORD,that He may be glorified.
Thussaysthe LORD,"Heavenis My throneand the earthis My footstool.Wherethenis a houseyou could buildfor Me? And whereis a placethat I may rest?
"Behold,[the] daysare coming,"declaresthe LORD,"When I will raiseup for Davida righteousBranch;And He will reignas kingand actwiselyAnd dojusticeand righteousnessin the land.
"In His daysJudahwill be saved,And Israelwill dwellsecurely;And thisis His nameby whichHe will be called,The LORDour righteousness.'

"NowI, Nebuchadnezzar,praise,exaltand honorthe Kingof heaven,for allHis worksare true and His waysjust,and He is ableto humblethose whowalkin pride."
and soallIsraelwill be saved;justas it is written,"THE DELIVERERWILL COMEFROM ZION,HE WILL REMOVEUNGODLINESSFROM JACOB."
for the demonstration,[I say], of His righteousnessat the presenttime,sothat He would be justand the justifierof the one who has faithin Jesus.
