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.
2
Open the gates, That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.
4
Trust in the Lord forever, For in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength.
5
For 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.
6
The foot shall tread it down-- The feet of the poor And the steps of the needy."
7
The way of the just is uprightness; O Most Upright, You weigh the path of the just.
8
Yes, 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.
9
With 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.
10
Let 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.
