Not guilt
They are running
And they establish
Rise up to meet me and see.

Arise to visit/attend to all the nations.
May you not be gracious to all the treacherous ones of trouble.

With their lips to whoever is hearing.

Sin of his mouth,
Word of his lips
And let them be captured in their exaltation
And from an oath and from lying let them recount

And they will know that God is judge in Jacob to the end of the land.

And a place of refuge in a day when he is hostile to me.

I will make music
For God is my stronghold,
God of my covenant faithfulness.
