among those who are lusty we are as dead men.
059:011 We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves:
we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation,
but it is far off from us.
059:012 For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins
testify against us; for our transgressions are with us,
and as for our iniquities, we know them:
059:013 transgressing and denying Yahweh, and turning away from following
our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering
from the heart words of falsehood.
059:014 Justice is turned away backward, and righteousness stands afar off;
for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness can't enter.
059:015 Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself
a prey. Yahweh saw it, and it displeased him that there
was no justice.
059:016 He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was
no intercessor: therefore his own arm brought salvation to him;
and his righteousness, it upheld him.
059:017 He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation
on his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing,
and was clad with zeal as a mantle.
059:018 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay,
wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies;
to the islands he will repay recompense.
059:019 So shall they fear the name of Yahweh from the west,
and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come
as a rushing stream, which the breath of Yahweh drives.
059:020 A Redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from
disobedience in Jacob, says Yahweh.
059:021 As for me, this is my covenant with them, says Yahweh:
my Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth,
shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth
of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed,
says Yahweh, from henceforth and forever.
060:001 Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of Yahweh
is risen on you.
060:002 For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness
the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory
shall be seen on you.
060:003 Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness
of your rising.
060:004 Lift up your eyes round about, and see: they all gather
themselves together, they come to you; your sons shall come
from far, and your daughters shall be carried in the arms.
060:005 Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill
and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be
turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
060:006 The multitude of camels shall cover you, the dromedaries
of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come;
