2:1 Do what is right

Southern kingdom

2 Gather yourselves together,

yes, assemble now you shameless nation

2 before the decree is made,

before the day passes like chaff,

before Yahweh’s anger reaches you all,

yes, before that day of Yahweh’s anger hits you.

3 Search for Yahweh, all you humble people who do his justice.

Aim to do what is right and to stay humble.

Perhaps you’ll be hidden away on the day Yahweh’s anger.

2 gather_yourselves_together and_gather_together Oh_nation not ashamed.
