66:1 Thus says the LORD:
“Heaven is my throne,
  and the earth is my footstool;
what is the house that you would build for me,
  and what is the place of my rest?
All these things my hand has made,
  and so all these things came to be,
declares the LORD.
But this is the one to whom I will look:
  he who is humble and contrite in spirit
  and trembles at my word.

“He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man;
  he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog's neck;
he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers pig's blood;
  he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.
These have chosen their own ways,
  and their soul delights in their abominations;
I also will choose harsh treatment for them
  and bring their fears upon them,
because when I called, no one answered,
  when I spoke, they did not listen;
but they did what was evil in my eyes
  and chose that in which I did not delight.”

Hear the word of the LORD,
  you who tremble at his word:
“Your brothers who hate you
  and cast you out for my name's sake
have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified,
  that we may see your joy’;
  but it is they who shall be put to shame.

“The sound of an uproar from the city!
  A sound from the temple!
The sound of the LORD,
  rendering recompense to his enemies!

“Before she was in labor
  she gave birth;
before her pain came upon her
  she delivered a son.
Who has heard such a thing?
  Who has seen such things?
Shall a land be born in one day?
  Shall a nation be brought forth in one moment?
For as soon as Zion was in labor
  she brought forth her children.
Shall I bring to the point of birth and not cause to bring forth?”
  says the LORD;
“shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb?”
  says your God.

“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her,
  all you who love her;
rejoice with her in joy,
  all you who mourn over her;
that you may nurse and be satisfied
  from her consoling breast;
that you may drink deeply with delight
  from her glorious abundance.”

For thus says the LORD:
“Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river,
  and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream;
and you shall nurse, you shall be carried upon her hip,
  and bounced upon her knees.
As one whom his mother comforts,
  so I will comfort you;
  you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice;
  your bones shall flourish like the grass;
and the hand of the LORD shall be known to his servants,
  and he shall show his indignation against his enemies.

“For behold, the LORD will come in fire,
  and his chariots like the whirlwind,
to render his anger in fury,
  and his rebuke with flames of fire.
For by fire will the LORD enter into judgment,
  and by his sword, with all flesh;
  and those slain by the LORD shall be many.

“For as the new heavens and the new earth
  that I make
shall remain before me, says the LORD,
  so shall your offspring and your name remain.
From new moon to new moon,
  and from Sabbath to Sabbath,
all flesh shall come to worship before me,
declares the LORD.

74:1 O God, why do you cast us off forever?
  Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old,
  which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage!
  Remember Mount Zion, where you have dwelt.
Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins;
  the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!

Your foes have roared in the midst of your meeting place;
  they set up their own signs for signs.
They were like those who swing axes
  in a forest of trees.
And all its carved wood
  they broke down with hatchets and hammers.
They set your sanctuary on fire;
  they profaned the dwelling place of your name,
  bringing it down to the ground.
They said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”;
  they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

We do not see our signs;
  there is no longer any prophet,
  and there is none among us who knows how long.
How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?
  Is the enemy to revile your name forever?
Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?
  Take it from the fold of your garment and destroy them!

Yet God my King is from of old,
  working salvation in the midst of the earth.
You divided the sea by your might;
  you broke the heads of the sea monsters on the waters.
You crushed the heads of Leviathan;
  you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
You split open springs and brooks;
  you dried up ever-flowing streams.
Yours is the day, yours also the night;
  you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.
You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth;
  you have made summer and winter.

Remember this, O LORD, how the enemy scoffs,
  and a foolish people reviles your name.
Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild beasts;
  do not forget the life of your poor forever.

Have regard for the covenant,
  for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
Let not the downtrodden turn back in shame;
  let the poor and needy praise your name.

Arise, O God, defend your cause;
  remember how the foolish scoff at you all the day!
Do not forget the clamor of your foes,
  the uproar of those who rise against you, which goes up continually!

Lie not in wait as a wicked man against the dwelling of the righteous;
  do no violence to his home;
for the righteous falls seven times and rises again,
  but the wicked stumble in times of calamity. (ESV)
