[1]In that dayH3117 shall this songH7892 be sungH7891[H8714] in the landH776 of JudahH3063; We have a strongH5797 cityH5892; salvationH3444 will God appointH7896[H8799] for wallsH2346 and bulwarksH2426.
[2]OpenH6605[H8798] ye the gatesH8179, that the righteousH6662 nationH1471 which keepethH8104[H8802] the truthH529 may enter inH935.[H8799]
[3]Thou wilt keepH5341[H8799] him in perfectH7965 peaceH7965, whose mindH3336 is stayedH5564[H8803] on thee: because he trustethH982 in theeH8803.
[4]TrustH982[H8798] ye in the LORDH3068 for everH5703: for in the LORDH3050 JEHOVAHH3068 is everlastingH5769 strengthH6697:
[5]For he bringeth downH7817[H8689] them that dwellH3427[H8802] on highH4791; the loftyH7682[H8737] cityH7151, he layeth it lowH8213[H8686]; he layeth it lowH8213[H8686], even to the groundH776; he bringethH5060[H8686] it even to the dustH6083.
[6]The footH7272 shall tread it downH7429[H8799], even the feetH7272 of the poorH6041, and the stepsH6471 of the needyH1800.
[7]The wayH734 of the justH6662 is uprightnessH4339: thou, most uprightH3477, dost weighH6424[H8762] the pathH4570 of the justH6662.
[8]Yea, in the wayH734 of thy judgmentsH4941, O LORDH3068, have we waitedH6960[H8765] for thee; the desireH8378 of our soulH5315 is to thy nameH8034, and to the remembrance of theeH2143.
[9]With my soulH5315 have I desiredH183[H8765] thee in the nightH3915; yea, with my spiritH7307 withinH7130 me will I seek thee earlyH7836[H8762]: for when thy judgmentsH4941 are in the earthH776, the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the worldH8398 will learnH3925[H8804] righteousnessH6664.
[10]Let favour be shewedH2603[H8717] to the wickedH7563, yet will he notH1077 learnH3925[H8804] righteousnessH6664: in the landH776 of uprightnessH5229 will he deal unjustlyH5765[H8762], and will notH1077 beholdH7200[H8799] the majestyH1348 of the LORDH3068.
[11]LORDH3068, when thy handH3027 is lifted upH7311[H8804], they will not seeH2372[H8799]: but they shall seeH2372[H8799], and be ashamedH954[H8799] for their envyH7068 at the peopleH5971; yea, the fireH784 of thine enemiesH6862 shall devourH398 themH8799.
[12]LORDH3068, thou wilt ordainH8239[H8799] peaceH7965 for us: for thou also hast wroughtH6466[H8804] all our works in usH4639.
[13]O LORDH3068 our GodH430, other lordsH113 besideH2108 thee have had dominionH1166[H8804] over us: but by thee only will we make mentionH2142[H8686] of thy nameH8034.
[14]They are deadH4191[H8801], they shall not liveH2421[H8799]; they are deceasedH7496, they shall not riseH6965[H8799]: therefore hast thou visitedH6485[H8804] and destroyedH8045[H8686] them, and made all their memoryH2143 to perishH6.[H8762]
[15]Thou hast increasedH3254[H8804] the nationH1471, O LORDH3068, thou hast increasedH3254[H8804] the nationH1471: thou art glorifiedH3513[H8738]: thou hadst removed it farH7368[H8765] unto all the endsH7099 of the earthH776.
[16]LORDH3068, in troubleH6862 have they visitedH6485[H8804] thee, they poured outH6694[H8804] a prayerH3908 when thy chastening was upon themH4148.
[17]LikeH3644 as a woman with childH2030, that draweth nearH7126[H8686] the time of her deliveryH3205[H8800], is in painH2342[H8799], and crieth outH2199[H8799] in her pangsH2256; so have we been in thy sightH6440, O LORDH3068.
[18]We have been with childH2029[H8804], we have been in painH2342[H8804], we have as it wereH3644 brought forthH3205[H8804] windH7307; we have not wroughtH6213[H8799] any deliveranceH3444 in the earthH776; neitherH1077 have the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the worldH8398 fallenH5307.[H8799]
[19]Thy deadH4191[H8801] men shall liveH2421[H8799], together with my dead bodyH5038 shall they ariseH6965[H8799]. AwakeH6974[H8685] and singH7442[H8761], ye that dwellH7931[H8802] in dustH6083: for thy dewH2919 is as the dewH2919 of herbsH219, and the earthH776 shall cast outH5307[H8686] the deadH7496.
[20]ComeH3212[H8798], my peopleH5971, enterH935[H8798] thou into thy chambersH2315, and shutH5462[H8798] thy doorsH1817 about thee: hideH2247[H8798] thyself as it were for a littleH4592 momentH7281, until the indignationH2195 be overpastH5674.[H8799]
[21]For, behold, the LORDH3068 cometh outH3318[H8802] of his placeH4725 to punishH6485[H8800] the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the earthH776 for their iniquityH5771: the earthH776 also shall discloseH1540[H8765] her bloodH1818, and shall no more coverH3680[H8762] her slainH2026.[H8803]
