16He will have a place on high: he will be safely shut in by the high rocks: his bread will be given to him; his waters will be certain.
17Your eyes will see the king in his glory: they will be looking on a far-stretching land.
18Your heart will give thought to the cause of your fear: where is the scribe, where is he who made a record of the payments, where is he by whom the towers were numbered?
19Never again will you see the cruel people, a people whose tongue has no sense for you; whose language is strange to you.
20Let your eyes be resting on Zion, the town of our holy feasts: you will see Jerusalem, a quiet resting-place, a tent which will not be moved, whose tent-pins will never be pulled up, and whose cords will never be broken.
21But there the Lord will be with us in his glory, ... wide rivers and streams; where no boat will go with blades, and no fair ship will be sailing.
22For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our law-giver, the Lord is our king; he will be our saviour.
