The Lord will make a covenant,
Of peace and banish wild beasts;
So that you are being content,
And that you worship with the priests.
That you dwell in the wilderness,
And securely sleep by the trees;
For the Lord is willing to bless,
With restful nights feeling at ease.
He will make the places around,
All around His hill a blessing;
Send showers a pleasant sound,
As you hear all the songbirds sing.
The trees of the field shall yield fruit,
As the earth shall yield an increase;
They secure the land with deep root,
Being a covenant of peace.
You shall know that He is the Lord,
When He breaks the bar of your yoke;
Never letting it be ignored,
The bond of slavery He broke.
No longer prey to the nations,
Nor devoured by any beast;
For building of new foundations,
Get set for the spiritual feast.
He provides a new plantation,
So, no more hunger in the land;
No more a suffering nation,
Or any reproaching demand.
You shall know that He is the Lord,
The Lord your God will be with you;
Worship and be in one accord,
Remain being faithful and true.
The house of Israel says God,
Declares that they are His people;
Who must come to honor and laud,
Worshipping Him in the temple.
They are the sheep within His flock,
The human sheep of His pasture;
At any time that He will talk,
They will listen through His Scripture.
