1. Blow the shofar in Zion,and sound an alarm in my holy mountain!Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,for the day of the Lord comes,for it is close at hand:
2. A day of darkness and gloominess,a day of clouds and thick darkness.As the dawn spreading on the mountains,a great and strong people;there has never been the like,neither will there be any more after them,even to the years of many generations.
