in a land of grain and new wine;

even his skies drip with dew.

You are also to bring the silver and gold the king and his counselors have willingly given to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem,

Nothing he owned remains in his tent.

Burning sulfur is scattered over his home.

I directed their course and presided as chief.

I lived as a king among his troops,

like one who comforts those who mourn.

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;

let them shout for joy forever.

May you shelter them,

and may those who love your name boast about you.

may an enemy pursue and overtake me;

may he trample me to the ground

and leave my honor in the dust.Selah

he leads me beside quiet waters.

dwell in the land and live securely.[fn]

Turn away from evil, do what is good,

and settle permanently.

and dwell in it permanently.

How happy is the one you choose

and bring near to live in your courts!

We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house,

the holiness of your temple.[fn]

Why gaze with envy, you mountain peaks,

at the mountain God desired for his abode?

The LORD will dwell there forever!

You ascended to the heights, taking away captives;

even from the rebellious,

so that the LORD God might dwell there.[fn]

and those who love his name will live in it.

Remember your congregation,

which you purchased long ago

and redeemed as the tribe for your own possession.

Remember Mount Zion where you dwell.

He drove out nations before them.

He apportioned their inheritance by lot

and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

He abandoned the tabernacle at Shiloh,

the tent where he resided among mankind.

and have knowledge and discretion.

He will be like a juniper in the Arabah;

he cannot see when good comes

but dwells in the parched places in the wilderness,

in a salt land where no one lives.

“In his days Judah will be saved,

and Israel will dwell securely.

This is the name he will be called:

The LORD Is Our Righteousness.[fn]

You who reside by abundant water,

rich in treasures,

your end has come,

your life thread is cut.

therefore I am about to give you to the people of the east as a possession. They will set up their encampments and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.

He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever.

“Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit was abundant,

and on it was food for all.

“and whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant ​— ​and on it was food for all, under it the wild animals lived, and in its branches the birds of the sky lived ​— ​

Then you will know

that I am the LORD your God,

who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain.

Jerusalem will be holy,

and foreigners will never overrun it again.

I will pardon their bloodguilt,[fn]

which I have not pardoned,

for the LORD dwells in Zion.

Your arrogant heart has deceived you,

you who live in clefts of the rock[fn][fn]

in your home on the heights,

who say to yourself,

“Who can bring me down to the ground? ”

Writhe and cry out,[fn] Daughter Zion,

like a woman in labor,

for now you will leave the city

and camp in the open fields.

You will go to Babylon;

there you will be rescued;

there the LORD will redeem you

from the grasp of your enemies!

Shepherd your people with your staff,

the flock that is your possession.

They live alone in a woodland

surrounded by pastures.

Let them graze in Bashan and Gilead

as in ancient times.
