7 Of the increase of his government and of peace
fthere will be no end,
on the gthrone of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with hjustice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
iThe zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
11 O Lord, your hand is lifted up,
but they do not see it.
Let them see your zeal for your people, and be ashamed.
Let the mfire for your adversaries consume them.
32 For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors. lThe zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
13 The Lord goes out qlike a mighty man,
like a man of war he stirs up his rzeal;
he cries out, he shouts aloud,
he shows himself mighty against his foes.
Prayer for Mercy
15 nLook down from heaven and see,
from your holy and beautiful1 habitation.
Where are your zeal and your might?
The stirring of your inner parts and your compassion
are held back from me.
