26On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city. Salvation is established as walls and ramparts.H3117H7892H7891H776H3063H5797H5892H3444H7896H2346H24262Open the gates so a righteous nation can come in— one that remains faithful.H6605H8179H6662H1471H8104H529H9353You will keep in perfect peace the mind [that is] dependent [on You], for it is trusting in You.H5341H7965H7965H3336H5564H9824Trust in the LORD forever, because in Yah, the LORD, is an everlasting rock!H982H3068H5703H3050H3068H5769H66975For He has humbled those who live in lofty places— an inaccessible city. He brings it down; He brings it down to the ground; He throws it to the dust.H7817H3427H4791H7682H7151H8213H8213H776H5060H60836Feet trample it, the feet of the humble, the steps of the poor.H7272H7429H7272H6041H6471H1800

7The path of the righteous is level; You clear a straight path for the righteous.H734H6662H4339H3477H6424H4570H66628Yes, LORD, we wait for You in the path of Your judgments. Our desire is for Your name and renown.H734H4941H3068H6960H8378H5315H8034H21439I long for You in the night; yes, my spirit within me diligently seeks You, for when Your judgments are [in] the land, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.H5315H183H3915H7307H7130H7836H4941H776H3427H8398H3925H666410[But if] the wicked is shown favor, he does not learn righteousness. In a righteous land he acts unjustly and does not see the majesty of the LORD.H2603H7563H1077H3925H6664H776H5229H5765H1077H7200H1348H306811LORD, Your hand is lifted up [to take action], but they do not see it. They will see [Your] zeal for [Your] people, and they will be put to shame. The fire for Your adversaries will consume them!H3068H3027H7311H2372H2372H954H7068H5971H784H6862H39812LORD, You will establish peace for us, for You have also done all our work for us.H3068H8239H7965H6466H463913LORD, our God, other lords than You have ruled over us, but we remember Your name alone.H3068H430H113H2108H1166H2142H803414The dead do not live; departed spirits do not rise up. Indeed, You have visited and destroyed them; You have wiped out all memory of them.H4191H2421H7496H6965H6485H8045H2143H615You have added to the nation, LORD. You have added to the nation; You are honored. You have expanded all the borders of the land.H3254H1471H3068H3254H1471H3513H7368H7099H77616LORD, they went to You in their distress; they poured out whispered [prayers because] Your discipline [fell] on them.H3068H6862H6485H6694H3908H414817As a pregnant woman about to give birth writhes and cries out in her pains, so we were before You, LORD.H3644H2030H7126H3205H2342H2199H2256H6440H306818We became pregnant, we writhed in pain; we gave birth to wind. We have won no victories on earth, and the earth's inhabitants have not fallen.H2029H2342H3644H3205H7307H6213H3444H776H1077H3427H8398H530719Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust! For you will be covered with the morning dew, and the earth will bring forth the departed spirits.H4191H2421H5038H6965H6974H7442H7931H6083H2919H2919H219H776H5307H749620Go, my people, enter your rooms and close your doors behind you. Hide for a little while until the wrath has passed.H3212H5971H935H2315H5462H1817H2247H4592H7281H2195H567421For look, the LORD is coming from His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth will reveal the blood shed on it and will no longer conceal her slain.H3068H3318H4725H6485H3427H776H5771H776H1540H1818H3680H2026
