15 The one who lives righteouslyand speaks rightly, who refuses gain from extortion,whose hand never takes a bribe,who stops his ears from listening to murderous plots and shuts his eyes to avoid endorsing evil —
16 he will dwell on the heights;his refuge will be the rocky fortresses,his food provided, his water assured.
17 Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; you will see a vast land.
18 Your mind will meditate on the past terror:“Where is the accountant? Where is the tribute collector? Where is the one who spied out our defenses? ”
19 You will no longer see the barbarians,a people whose speech is difficult to comprehend —who stammer in a language that is not understood.
20 Look at Zion, the city of our festival times.Your eyes will see Jerusalem,a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander;its tent pegs will not be pulled upnor will any of its cords be loosened.
21 For the majestic One, our Lord, will be there, a place of rivers and broad streamswhere ships that are rowed will not go,and majestic vessels will not pass.
