In thatdayshall thissongbe sungin the landof Judah; We have a strongcity; salvationwill God appoint for wallsand bulwarks. Openye the gates, that the righteousnationwhich keepeththe truthmay enter in. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee : becausehe trustethin thee. Trustye in the LORDforever: forin the LORDJEHOVAH is everlastingstrength: Forhe bringeth downthem that dwellon high; the loftycity, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even tothe ground; he bringethit even tothe dust. The footshall tread it down, even the feetof the poor, and the stepsof the needy. The wayof the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weighthe pathof the just. Yea, in the wayof thy judgments, O LORD, have we waitedfor thee; the desireof our soul is to thy name, and to the remembranceof thee. With my soulhave I desiredthee in the night; yea, with my spiritwithinme will I seek thee early: forwhenthy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitantsof the worldwill learnrighteousness. Let favor be showedto the wicked, yet will he notlearnrighteousness: in the landof uprightnesswill he deal unjustly, and will notbeholdthe majestyof the LORD. LORD, when thy handis lifted up, they will notsee: but they shall see, and be ashamedfor their envyat the people; yea, the fireof thine enemiesshall devourthem. LORD, thou wilt ordainpeacefor us: forthou alsohast wroughtallour worksin us. O LORDour God, other lordsbesidethee have had dominionover us: but by thee onlywill we make mentionof thy name. They are dead, they shall notlive; they are deceased, they shall notrise: thereforehast thou visitedand destroyedthem, and made alltheir memoryto perish. Thou hast increasedthe nation, O LORD, thou hast increasedthe nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto allthe endsof the earth. LORD, in troublehave they visitedthee, they poured outa prayer when thy chastening was upon them. Like asa woman with child, that draweth nearthe time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth outin her pangs; sohave we beenin thy sight, O LORD. We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it werebrought forthwind; we have notwroughtany deliverancein the earth; neitherhave the inhabitantsof the worldfallen. Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead bodyshall they arise. Awakeand sing, ye that dwellin dust: forthy dew is as the dewof herbs, and the earthshall cast outthe dead. Come, my people, enterthou into thy chambers, and shutthy doorsaboutthee: hidethyself as it were for a littlemoment, untilthe indignationbe overpast. For, behold, the LORDcomethout of his placeto punishthe inhabitantsof the earthfor their iniquity: the earthalso shall discloseher blood, and shall nomorecoverher slain.
