though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at their swelling. Selah
Great is Adonai, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God —His holy mountain.
But I—I will declare it forever, I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.
For behold, Your enemies, Adonai —behold Your enemies perish— all evildoers are scattered.
Wrongdoing is an abomination to kings, for a throne is established by righteousness.
A wise king winnows out the wicked. He turns a threshing wheel over them.
A king sitting on the throne to judge separates out all evil with his eyes.
O house of David, thus says Adonai: “Render justice by morning, and rescue the one who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Otherwise My fury will go forth like fire and burn so none can extinguish it, because of their evil deeds.”
They will not dwell in Adonai’s land. Instead Ephraim will return to Egypt, and eat unclean food in Assyria.
Hear this, leaders of the house of Jacob, rulers of the house of Israel: You who abhor justice, and twist everything upright,
And nothing unholy shall ever enter it, nor anyone doing what is detestable or false, but only those written in the Book of Life.
