and thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.

Wisdom is found with the elderly,

and understanding comes with long life.

Since a person’s days are determined

and the number of his months depends on you,

and since you have set[fn] limits he cannot pass,

As water disappears from a lake

and a river becomes parched and dry,

and conceal me until your anger passes.

If only you would appoint a time for me

and then remember me.

you have covered him with shame.Selah

and years will be added to your life.

But he doesn’t know that the departed spirits are there,

that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

All the days of the oppressed are miserable,

but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.

A leader who lacks understanding

is very oppressive,

but one who hates dishonest profit

There is an occasion for everything,

and a time for every activity under heaven:

The dominion will be vast,

and its prosperity will never end.

He will reign on the throne of David

and over his kingdom,

to establish and sustain it

with justice and righteousness from now on and forever.

The zeal of the LORD of Armies will accomplish this.

It will never be inhabited

or lived in from generation to generation;

a nomad will not pitch his tent there,

and shepherds will not let their flocks rest there.

Calves will graze there,

and there they will spread out and strip its branches.

Look! The name of the LORD is coming from far away,

his anger burning and heavy with smoke.[fn]

His lips are full of fury,

and his tongue is like a consuming fire.

Look at Zion, the city of our festival times.

Your eyes will see Jerusalem,

a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander;

its tent pegs will not be pulled up

nor will any of its cords be loosened.

It will never go out ​— ​day or night.

Its smoke will go up forever.

It will be desolate, from generation to generation;

no one will pass through it forever and ever.

He has cast the lot for them;

his hand allotted their portion with a measuring line.

They will possess it forever;

they will dwell in it from generation to generation.

distant peoples, pay attention.

The LORD called me before I was born.

He named me while I was in my mother’s womb.

For moths will devour them like a garment,

and worms will eat them like wool.

But my righteousness will last forever,

and my salvation for all generations.

would never flood the earth again,

so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you

or rebuke you.
