3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5For he has humbled the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city. He lays it low, lays it low to the ground, casts it to the dust. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6The foot tramples it, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.” |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7The path of the righteous is level; you make level the way of the righteous. |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8In the path of your judgments, O LORD, we wait for you; your name and remembrance are the desire of our soul. |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9My soul yearns for you in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10If favor is shown to the wicked, he does not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he deals corruptly and does not see the majesty of the LORD. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11O LORD, your hand is lifted up, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people, and be ashamed. Let the fire for your adversaries consume them. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12O LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have indeed done for us all our works. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13O LORD our God, other lords besides you have ruled over us, but your name alone we bring to remembrance. |

15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15But you have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation; you are glorified; you have enlarged all the borders of the land. |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16O LORD, in distress they sought you; they poured out a whispered prayer when your discipline was upon them. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Like a pregnant woman who writhes and cries out in her pangs when she is near to giving birth, so were we because of you, O LORD; |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18we were pregnant, we writhed, but we have given birth to wind. We have accomplished no deliverance in the earth, and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead. |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the fury has passed by. |
