10 The Lord reveals[a] his royal power[b]
in the sight of all the nations;
the entire[c] earth sees
our God deliver.[d]
11 Leave! Leave! Get out of there!
Don’t touch anything unclean!
Get out of it!
Stay pure, you who carry the Lord’s holy items.[e]
12 Yet do not depart quickly
or leave in a panic.[f]
For the Lord goes before you;
the God of Israel is your rear guard.
