59 Listen! The LORD’s arm is not too weak to save you, nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call. 2 It’s your sins that have cut you off from God. and will not listen anymore. 3 Your hands are the hands of murderers, and your mouth spews corruption. 4 No one cares about being fair and honest. and then give birth to sin. 5 They hatch deadly snakes whoever cracks them will hatch a viper. 6 Their webs can’t be made into clothing, and violence is their trademark. 7 Their feet run to do evil, Misery and destruction always follow them. 8 They don’t know where to find peace and no one who follows them knows a moment’s peace. 9 So there is no justice among us, We look for bright skies but walk in gloom. 10 We grope like the blind along a wall, we are like the dead. 11 We growl like hungry bears; We look for rescue, but it is far away from us. 12 For our sins are piled up before God Yes, we know what sinners we are. 13 We know we have rebelled and have denied the LORD. carefully planning our deceitful lies. 14 Our courts oppose the righteous, and honesty has been outlawed. 15 Yes, truth is gone, to find there was no justice. 16 He was amazed to see that no one intervened and his justice sustained him. 17 He put on righteousness as his body armor and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion. 18 He will repay his enemies for their evil deeds. He will pay them back even to the ends of the earth. 19 In the west, people will respect the name of the LORD; driven by the breath of the LORD. 20 “The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem says the LORD. 21 “And this is my covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words I have given you. They will be on your lips and on the lips of your children and your children’s children forever. I, the LORD, have spoken!
