1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks.2Open the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in You.
4Trust in the Lord forever, for in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.
5For He brings down those who dwell on high, the lofty city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He brings it down to the dust.
6The foot shall tread it down - The feet of the poor and the steps of the needy."
7The way of the just is uprightness; O Most Upright, You weigh the path of the just.
8Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O Lord, we have waited for You; the desire of our soul is for Your name and for the remembrance of You.
9With my soul I have desired You in the night, yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; for when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10Let grace be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
11Lord, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see. But they will see and be ashamed for their envy of people; yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.
12Lord, You will establish peace for us, for You have also done all our works in us.
