13 Hear, you who are far off, what I have done;
    you who are near, acknowledge my might.
14 In Zion sinners are in dread,
    trembling grips the impious:
“Who of us can live with consuming fire?
    who of us can live with everlasting flames?”(A)
15 Whoever walks righteously and speaks honestly,
    who spurns what is gained by oppression,
Who waves off contact with a bribe,
    who stops his ears so as not to hear of bloodshed,
    who closes his eyes so as not to look on evil—(B)
16 That one shall dwell on the heights,
    with fortresses of rock for stronghold,
    food and drink in steady supply.

13 You who are far away,(A) hear(B) what I have done;
    you who are near, acknowledge my power!
14 The sinners(C) in Zion are terrified;
    trembling(D) grips the godless:
“Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?(E)
    Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?”
15 Those who walk righteously(F)
    and speak what is right,(G)
who reject gain from extortion(H)
    and keep their hands from accepting bribes,(I)
who stop their ears against plots of murder
    and shut their eyes(J) against contemplating evil—
16 they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,(K)
    whose refuge(L) will be the mountain fortress.(M)
Their bread will be supplied,
    and water will not fail(N) them.

13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
