When I punish them, they will collapse,

in the presence of their enemies.”

LORD, the hope of Israel,

all who abandon you

will be put to shame.

All who turn away from me

will be written in the dirt,

for they have abandoned

the LORD, the fountain of living water.

and all the Sidonians are there.

They went down in shame with the slain,

despite the terror their strength inspired.

They bear their disgrace

with those who descend to the Pit.

You will praise the name of the LORD your God,

who has dealt wondrously with you.

My people will never again be put to shame.
