13  and have ^vforgotten the Lord, your Maker,

who ^wstretched out the heavens

and ^xlaid the foundations of the earth,

and you fear continually all the day

because of the wrath of the oppressor,

when he sets himself to destroy?

And where is the wrath of the oppressor?

16  And I have ^aput my words in your mouth

and covered you ^bin the shadow of my hand,

establishing¹ the heavens

and laying the foundations of the earth,

and saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
