Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger.
Look for God, all you humble people who actually live out his ways. Keep chasing what's right and stay humble, maybe you'll find shelter when God's judgment comes down.
Stay humble, seek God, and maybe you'll find safety when everything falls apart.
