¹⁸ My people will abide in a peaceful habitation,
    in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.

¹⁹ I did not speak in secret
    in a land of darkness;
I did not say to the offspring of Jacob,
    “Seek me in chaos.”
I the Lord speak the truth;
    I declare what is right.^(A)

²⁵ In the Lord all the offspring of Israel
    shall triumph and glory.^(A)

⁸ Thus says the Lord:
In a time of favor I have answered you;
    on a day of salvation I have helped you;
I have kept you and given you
    as a covenant to the people,^[a]
to establish the land,
    to apportion the desolate heritages,^(A)

¹³ When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you!
    The wind will carry them off;
    a breath will take them away.
But whoever takes refuge in me shall possess the land
    and inherit my holy mountain.^(A)
