If they are led by their enemies into captivity,
    there I shall command the sword to slay them.
I will fix my eyes on them
    for evil, and not for good.

Psalm of Praise

The Lord, the God of hosts,
    touches the earth and it melts
    so that all who live on it mourn,
while the entire earth rises up like the Nile[a]
    and then subsides like the River of Egypt.
He builds his upper chambers in the heavens
    and establishes his vault of the sky over the earth—
    the Lord is his name.
