15  Yea, truth bfaileth;

And he that departeth from evil ||cmaketh himself a prey:

And the Lord saw it, and †it displeased him

That there was no judgment.

16  And dhe saw that there was no man,

And ewondered that there was no fintercessor:

gTherefore hhis arm brought salvation unto him;

And his righteousness, dit sustained him.

17  For ihe put on righteousness as a breastplate,

And an helmet of salvation upon his head;

And he put on the garments of kvengeance for clothing,

And was clad with zeal ias a cloke.

18  lAccording to their †deeds, accordingly mhe will repay,

nFury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies;

To othe islands he will repay recompence.

19  pSo shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west,

And his glory from the rising of the sun.

When the enemy shall come in qlike a flood,

The Spirit of the Lord shall ||rlift up a standard against him.

20  And sthe Redeemer shall come to Zion,

And unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.
