26On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; he sets up victory like walls and bulwarks.H3117H7892H7891H776H3063H5797H5892H3444H7896H2346H24262Open the gates, so that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.H6605H8179H6662H1471H8104H529H9353Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace—in peace because they trust in you.H5341H7965H7965H3336H5564H9824Trust in the LORD forever, for in the LORD GOD you have an everlasting rock.H982H3068H5703H3050H3068H5769H66975For he has brought low the inhabitants of the height; the lofty city he lays low. He lays it low to the ground, casts it to the dust.H7817H3427H4791H7682H7151H8213H8213H776H5060H60836The foot tramples it, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.H7272H7429H7272H6041H6471H18007The way of the righteous is level; O Just One, you make smooth the path of the righteous.H734H6662H4339H3477H6424H4570H66628In the path of your judgments, O LORD, we wait for you; your name and your renown are the soul's desire.H734H4941H3068H6960H8378H5315H8034H21439My 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.H5315H183H3915H7307H7130H7836H4941H776H3427H8398H3925H666410If favor is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness they deal perversely and do not see the majesty of the LORD.H2603H7563H1077H3925H6664H776H5229H5765H1077H7200H1348H306811O 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.H3068H3027H7311H2372H2372H954H7068H5971H784H6862H39812O LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for indeed, all that we have done, you have done for us.H3068H8239H7965H6466H463913O LORD our God, other lords besides you have ruled over us, but we acknowledge your name alone.H3068H430H113H2108H1166H2142H803414The dead do not live; shades do not rise—because you have punished and destroyed them, and wiped out all memory of them.H4191H2421H7496H6965H6485H8045H2143H615But you have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation; you are glorified; you have enlarged all the borders of the land.H3254H1471H3068H3254H1471H3513H7368H7099H77616O LORD, in distress they sought you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.H3068H6862H6485H6694H3908H414817Like a woman with child, who writhes and cries out in her pangs when she is near her time, so were we because of you, O LORD;H3644H2030H7126H3205H2342H2199H2256H6440H306818we were with child, we writhed, but we gave birth only to wind. We have won no victories on earth, and no one is born to inhabit the world.H2029H2342H3644H3205H7307H6213H3444H776H1077H3427H8398H530719Your dead shall live, their corpses shall rise. O dwellers in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a radiant dew, and the earth will give birth to those long dead.H4191H2421H5038H6965H6974H7442H7931H6083H2919H2919H219H776H5307H749620Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the wrath is past.H3212H5971H935H2315H5462H1817H2247H4592H7281H2195H567421For the LORD comes out from his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will disclose the blood shed on it, and will no longer cover its slain.H3068H3318H4725H6485H3427H776H5771H776H1540H1818H3680H2026
