11 The Lord, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see;but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed.Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
12 The Lord, you will ordain peace for us,for you have also done all our work for us.
13 The Lord our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us,but by you only will we make mention of your name.
14 The dead shall not live.The departed spirits shall not rise.Therefore you have visited and destroyed them,and caused all memory of them to perish.
15 You have increased the nation, O Lord.You have increased the nation!You are glorified!You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
16 Lord, in trouble they have visited you.They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
17 Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery,is in pain and cries out in her pangs;so we have been before you, Lord.
