“For the LORD’S ^H3068 portion ^H2506 is His people ^H5971;

Jacob ^H3290 is the allotment ^H2256 of His inheritance ^H5159.

Then she let ^H3381 them down ^H3381 by a rope ^H2256 through ^H1157 the window ^H2474, for her house ^H1004 was on the city ^H7023 wall ^H2346, so that she was living ^H3427 on the wall ^H2346.

And he [fn]defeated ^H5221 Moab ^H4124, and measured ^H4058 them with the line ^H2256, making them lie ^H7901 down ^H7901 on the ground ^H776; and he measured ^H4058 two ^H8147 lines ^H2256 to put ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191, and a full ^H4393 line ^H2256 to keep ^H2421 alive ^H2421. And the Moabites ^H4124 became ^H1961 servants ^H5650 to David ^H1732, bringing ^H5375 tribute ^H4503.

The ropes ^H2256 of [fn]Sheol ^H7585 surrounded ^H5437 me;

The snares ^H4170 of death ^H4194 confronted ^H6923 me.

But his servants ^H5650 said ^H559 to him, “Behold ^H2009 now ^H4994, we have heard ^H8085 that the kings ^H4428 of the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 are merciful ^H2617 kings ^H4428. Please ^H4994 let’s put ^H7760 sackcloth ^H8242 [fn]around our waists ^H4975 and ropes ^H2256 on our heads ^H7218, and go ^H3318 out ^H3318 to the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478; perhaps ^H194 he will let ^H2421 [fn]you live ^H2421.”

Saying ^H559, “To you I will give ^H5414 the land ^H776 of Canaan ^H3667,

As the portion ^H2256 of your inheritance ^H5159.”

“A noose ^H2256 for him is hidden ^H2934 in the ground ^H776,

And a trap ^H4434 for him on the pathway ^H5410.

“How ^H4100 often ^H4100 is the lamp ^H5216 of the wicked ^H7563 put ^H1846 out ^H1846,

Or does their disaster ^H343 fall ^H935 on them?

Does [fn]God apportion ^H2505 destruction ^H2256 in His anger ^H639?

“And if ^H518 they are bound ^H631 in shackles ^H2131,

And are caught ^H3920 in the snares ^H2256 of misery ^H6040,

“They kneel ^H3766 down ^H3766, they deliver ^H6398 their young ^H3206,

They get ^H7971 rid ^H7971 of their labor ^H2256 pains ^H2256.

“[fn]Can you drag ^H4900 out ^H4900 [fn]Leviathan ^H3882 with a fishhook ^H2443,

And press ^H8257 down ^H8257 his tongue ^H3956 with a rope ^H2256?

The measuring ^H2256 lines ^H2256 have fallen ^H5307 for me in pleasant ^H5273 places;

Indeed ^H637, my inheritance ^H5159 is beautiful ^H8231 to me.

The ropes ^H2256 of death ^H4194 encompassed ^H661 me,

And the torrents ^H5158 of [fn]destruction ^H1100 [fn]terrified ^H1204 me.

He also drove ^H1644 out ^H1644 the nations ^H1471 from them

And apportioned ^H5307 them as an inheritance ^H5159 by measurement ^H2256,

And had the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 dwell ^H7931 in their tents ^H168.

Saying ^H559, “To you I will give ^H5414 the land ^H776 of Canaan ^H3667

As the [fn]portion ^H2256 of your inheritance ^H5159,”

The snares ^H2256 of death ^H4194 encompassed ^H661 me

And the [fn]terrors ^H4712 of [fn]Sheol ^H7585 [fn]came ^H4672 upon ^H4672 me;

I found ^H4672 distress ^H6869 and sorrow ^H3015.

The snares ^H2256 of the wicked ^H7563 have surrounded ^H5749 me,

But I have not forgotten ^H7911 Your Law ^H8451.

The proud ^H1343 have hidden ^H2934 a trap ^H6341 for me, and snares ^H2256;

They have spread ^H6566 a net ^H7568 at the [fn]wayside ^H4570;

They have set ^H7896 snares ^H4170 for me. Selah ^H5542

His own wrongdoings ^H5771 will trap ^H3920 the wicked ^H7563,

And he will be held ^H8551 by the ropes ^H2256 of his sin ^H2403.

Woe ^H1945 to those who drag ^H4900 wrongdoing ^H5771 with the cords ^H2256 of [fn]deceit ^H7723,

And sin ^H2403 as if with cart ^H5699 ropes ^H5688;

They will be terrified ^H926,

Pains ^H6735 and anguish ^H2256 will take ^H270 hold ^H270 of them;

They will writhe ^H2342 like a woman in ^H3205 labor ^H3205,

They will look ^H8539 at one ^H376 another ^H7453 in ^H8539 astonishment ^H8539,

Their faces ^H6440 aflame ^H3857.

As the pregnant ^H2030 woman ^H2030 approaches ^H7126 the time to give ^H3205 birth ^H3205,

She writhes ^H2342 and cries ^H2199 out ^H2199 in her labor ^H2256 pains ^H2256;

This ^H3651 is ^H3651 how ^H3651 we were before ^H4480 H6440 You, LORD ^H3068.

Look ^H2372 at ^H2372 Zion ^H6726, the city ^H7151 of our appointed ^H4150 feasts ^H4150;

Your eyes ^H5869 will see ^H7200 Jerusalem ^H3389, an undisturbed ^H7600 settlement ^H5116,

A tent ^H168 which will not be folded ^H6813;

Its stakes ^H3489 will never ^H1077 H5331 be pulled ^H5265 up ^H5265,

Nor ^H1077 any ^H3605 of its ropes ^H2256 be torn ^H5423 apart ^H5423.

“Before ^H2962 she was ^H2342 in ^H2342 labor ^H2342, she delivered ^H3205;

Before ^H2962 her pain ^H2256 came ^H935, she gave ^H4422 birth ^H4422 to a boy ^H2145.

“What ^H4100 will you say ^H559 when ^H3588 He appoints ^H6485 over ^H5921 you—

And you yourself ^H859 had taught ^H3925 them—

Former companions ^H441 to be head ^H7218 over ^H5921 you?

Will sharp ^H2256 pains ^H2256 not take ^H270 hold ^H270 of you

Like ^H3644 a woman ^H802 in ^H3205 childbirth ^H3205?

“You who live ^H3427 in Lebanon ^H3844,

Nested ^H7077 in the cedars ^H730,

How ^H4100 you will groan ^H584 when sharp ^H2256 pains ^H2256 come ^H935 on you,

Pain ^H2427 like a woman in ^H3205 childbirth ^H3205!

“Damascus ^H1834 has become ^H7503 helpless ^H7503;

She has turned ^H6437 away ^H6437 to flee ^H5127,

And panic ^H7374 has gripped ^H2388 her;

Distress ^H6869 and labor ^H2256 pains ^H2256 have seized ^H270 her

Like a woman in ^H3205 childbirth ^H3205.

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068 says ^H559: “This ^H2088 shall be the boundary ^H1366 by which ^H834 you shall divide ^H5157 the land ^H776 for ^H5157 an ^H5157 inheritance ^H5157 among the twelve ^H8147 H6240 tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478; Joseph ^H3130 shall have two ^H8147 portions ^H2256.

I pulled ^H4900 them along ^H4900 with cords ^H2256 of a man ^H120, with ropes ^H5688 of love ^H160,

And I became ^H1961 to them as one who lifts ^H7311 the yoke ^H5923 from their jaws ^H3895;

And I bent ^H5186 down ^H5186 and fed ^H398 them.
