19 ^aYou will not see a fierce people,
^bA people of obscure speech, beyond perception,
Of a¹ stammering tongue that you cannot understand. ‡

20 ^aLook upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see ^bJerusalem, a quiet home,
A tabernacle that will not be taken down;
^cNot one of ^dits stakes will ever be removed,
Nor will any of its cords be broken. ‡

22 (For the Lord is our ^aJudge,
The Lord is our ^bLawgiver,
^cThe Lord is our King;
He will save us); ‡

23 Your tackle is loosed,
They could not strengthen their mast,
They could not spread the sail.
Then the prey of great plunder is divided;
The lame take the prey.
