1 In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah: A strong city to us; he will set salvation the wall and the fortification. 2 Open ye the gates and the just nation watching truths shall come in. 3 The mind placed upon thee thou wilt form peace, peace, because he trusted in thee. 4 Trust ye in Jehovah even to eternity, for in Jah Jehovah is the rock of ages. 5 For he bows down those dwelling in height; for the city set up on high he will bring it down; he will bring it down even to the earth; he will cause it to touch even to the dust. 6 The foot shall tread it down, the feet of the humble, the steps of the poor. 7 The way to the just one is straightness: being upright, thou wilt prepare the departing of the just one. 8 Also the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, we hoped for thee; to thy name and to thy remembrance is the desire of the soul. 9 My soul desired thee in the night; also my spirit in the midst of me I will seek thee: for when thy judgments to the earth, those dwelling in the habitable globe will learn justice. 10 Shall the unjust be shown favor? He learnt not justice; in the land of justice he will act perversely, and he will not see the majesty of Jehovah. 11 O Jehovah, high thy hand, they will not see: they shall see and be ashamed for their jealousy of the people; also the fire of thine enemies shall consume them. 12 O Jehovah, thou wilt judge peace for us: for also all our works thou didst for us. 13 O Jehovah our God, lords besides thee had dominion over us; but in thee alone will we make mention of thy name. 14 The dead shall not live; shades shall not rise; for this, thou reviewedst and thou wilt destroy them, and all remembrance to them shall perish.
