Inhabiting the Desolate Cities

I will sing. I will enlarge the place of my tent. I will stretch forth the curtains of my habitations, I will not spare, I will lengthen my cords, and strengthen my stakes. For I shall break forth on the right hand and on the left; and my seed shall inherit the Gentiles and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

I will not be ashamed, neither will I be confounded, for I shall not be put to shame.

Though I have been afflicted and tossed with tempest, behold, You will lay my stones with fair colours, and lay my foundations with sapphires.

All my children shall be taught of You, Lord, and great shall be their peace.

I shall be far from oppression; for I shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near me.

Behold they shall surely gather together, but not by You: whosoever shall gather against me shall FALL for my sake.

No weapon that is fashioned against me shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against me in judgement I shall condemn.

This is my heritage as a servant of the Lord, and my righteousness is of You, Lord.

Amen.
