Amplified Bible Help
26IN THAT day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; [the Lord] sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks.H3117H7892H7891H776H3063H5797H5892H3444H7896H2346H2426 2Open the gates, that the [uncompromisingly] righteous nation which keeps her faith {and} her troth [with God] may enter in.H6605H8179H6662H1471H8104H529H935 3You will guard him {and} keep him in perfect {and} constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, {and} hopes confidently in You.H5341H7965H7965H3336H5564H982 4So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].H982H3068H5703H3050H3068H5769H6697 5For He has brought down the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city; He lays it low, lays it low to the ground; He brings it even to the dust.H7817H3427H4791H7682H7151H8213H8213H776H5060H6083 6The foot has trampled it down--even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.H7272H7429H7272H6041H6471H1800 7The way of the [consistently] righteous (those living in moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relationship of their lives) is level {and} straight; You, O [Lord], Who are upright, direct aright {and} make level the path of the [uncompromisingly] just {and} righteous.H734H6662H4339H3477H6424H4570H6662 8Yes, in the path of Your judgments, O Lord, we wait [expectantly] for You; our heartfelt desire is for Your name and for the remembrance of You.H734H4941H3068H6960H8378H5315H8034H2143 9My soul yearns for You [O Lord] in the night, yes, my spirit within me seeks You earnestly; for [only] when Your judgments are in the earth will the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God).H5315H183H3915H7307H7130H7836H4941H776H3427H8398H3925H6664 10Though favor is shown to the wicked, yet they do not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness they deal perversely and refuse to see the majesty of the Lord.H2603H7563H1077H3925H6664H776H5229H5765H1077H7200H1348H3068 11Though Your hand is lifted high to strike, Lord, they do not see it. Let them see Your zeal for Your people and be ashamed; yes, let the fire reserved for Your enemies consume them.H3068H3027H7311H2372H2372H954H7068H5971H784H6862H398 12Lord, You will ordain peace (God's favor and blessings, both temporal and spiritual) for us, for You have also wrought in us {and} for us all our works.H3068H8239H7965H6466H4639 13O Lord, our God, other masters besides You have ruled over us, but we will acknowledge {and} mention Your name only.H3068H430H113H2108H1166H2142H8034 14They [the former tyrant masters] are dead, they shall not live {and} reappear; they are powerless ghosts, they shall not rise {and} come back. Therefore You have visited and made an end of them and caused every memory of them [every trace of their supremacy] to perish.H4191H2421H7496H6965H6485H8045H2143H6 15You have increased the nation, O Lord; You have increased the nation. You are glorified; You have enlarged all the borders of the land.H3254H1471H3068H3254H1471H3513H7368H7099H776 16Lord, when they were in trouble {and} distress, they sought {and} visited You; they poured out a prayerful whisper when Your chastening was upon them.H3068H6862H6485H6694H3908H4148 17As a woman with child drawing near the time of her delivery is in pain {and} writhes and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before You (at Your presence), O Lord.H3644H2030H7126H3205H2342H2199H2256H6440H3068 18We have been with child, we have been writhing {and} in pain; we have, as it were, brought forth [only] wind. We have not wrought any deliverance in the earth, and the inhabitants of the world [of Israel] have not yet been born.H2029H2342H3644H3205H7307H6213H3444H776H1077H3427H8398H5307 19Your dead shall live [O Lord]; the bodies of our dead [saints] shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For Your dew [O Lord] is a dew of [sparkling] light [heavenly, supernatural dew]; and the earth shall cast forth the dead [to life again; for on the land of the shades of the dead You will let Your dew fall].H4191H2421H5038H6965H6974H7442H7931H6083H2919H2919H219H776H5307H7496 20Come, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the [Lord's] wrath is past.H3212H5971H935H2315H5462H1817H2247H4592H7281H2195H5674 21For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place [heaven] to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth also will disclose the blood shed upon her and will no longer cover her slain {and} conceal her guilt.H3068H3318H4725H6485H3427H776H5771H776H1540H1818H3680H2026
