The righteous shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,
The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent one mocks at them,
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.
Wait for the Lord and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut off.
After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!”
And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say, “Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was, for you brought these judgments. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!” And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!”
Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.”
this is the word that the Lord has spoken concerning him: “‘She despises you, she scorns you— the virgin daughter of Zion; she wags her head behind you— the daughter of Jerusalem.
My flesh trembles for fear of you, and I am afraid of your judgments.
Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of your judgments, O Lord.
Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about and ponder what he has done.
The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked. Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, “Great is the Lord beyond the border of Israel!”
