“You aggressively attacked me and tried to knock me down, but the Lord helped me.

The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem, and gathers the exiles of Israel.

The wicked will be thrown down in his trouble, but the righteous have refuge even in the threat of death.

May they be like wind-driven chaff, as the Lord’s angel attacks them!

I can see the evildoers! They have fallen! They have been knocked down and are unable to get up!

How long will you threaten a man? All of you are murderers, as dangerous as a leaning wall or an unstable fence.

O Lord, shelter me from the power of the wicked! Protect me from violent men, who plan to knock me over.

He will lift a signal flag for the nations; he will gather Israel’s dispersed people and assemble Judah’s scattered people from the four corners of the earth.

The sovereign Lord says this, the one who gathers the dispersed of Israel: “I will still gather them up.”

So the paths they follow will be dark and slippery. They will stumble and fall headlong. For I will bring disaster on them. A day of reckoning is coming for them.” The Lord affirms it!
