⁵ For the Lord God of Hosts
had a day of tumult, trampling, and confusion^(A)
in the Valley of Vision—
people shouting^[a] and crying to the mountains;

¹⁶ Lord, they went to You in their distress;^(A)
they poured out whispered prayers
because Your discipline fell on them.^[a]

⁷ The Lord is good,
a stronghold in a day of distress;
He cares for those who take refuge^(A) in Him.

¹⁶ I heard, and I trembled within;^(A)
my lips quivered at the sound.
Rottenness entered my bones;
I trembled where I stood.
Now I must quietly wait for the day of distress
to come against the people invading us.
