1. Gather, gather yourselves together,O nation without shame!
2. Before you are driven away,like chaff that disappears;Before there comes upon youthe blazing anger of the Lord;Before there comes upon youthe day of the Lord’s anger.
3. Seek the Lord,all you humble of the land,who have observed his law;Seek justice,seek humility;Perhaps you will be shelteredon the day of the Lord’s anger.
4. For Gaza shall be forsaken,and Ashkelon shall be a waste,Ashdod they shall drive out at midday,and Ekron shall be uprooted.
5. Ah! You who dwell by the seacoast,the nation of Cherethites,the word of the Lord is against you!O Canaan, land of the Philistines,I will leave you to perish without an inhabitant!
