1 |
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: we have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks. |
2 |
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in. |
3 |
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee. |
4 |
Trust ye in YAHUVEH for ever; for in Yah, even YAHUVEH, is an everlasting rock. |
5 |
For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. |
6 |
The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. |
7 |
The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art upright dost direct the path of the just. |
8 |
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O YAHUVEH, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial name, is the desire of our soul. |
9 |
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. |
10 |
Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of YAHUVEH. |
11 |
YAHUVEH, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see thy zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries. |
12 |
YAHUVEH, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou hast also wrought all our works for us. |
13 |
O YAHUVEH our YAHUVEH, other masters besides thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. |
14 |
They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish. |
15 |
Thou hast increased the nation, O YAHUVEH, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land. |
16 |
YAHUVEH, in trouble have they visited thee; they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. |
17 |
Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been before thee, O YAHUVEH. |
18 |
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. |
19 |
Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead. |
20 |
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. |
21 |
For, behold, YAHUVEH cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. |
