1 In that day|strong="H3117" shall this song|strong="H7892" be sung|strong="H7891" in the land|strong="H0776" of Judah|strong="H3063"; We have a strong|strong="H5797" city|strong="H5892"; salvation|strong="H3444" will God appoint|strong="H7896" for walls|strong="H2346" and bulwarks|strong="H2426".
2 Open|strong="H6605" ye the gates|strong="H8179", that the righteous|strong="H6662" nation|strong="H1471" which keepeth|strong="H8104" the truth|strong="H0529" may enter in|strong="H0935".
3 Thou wilt keep|strong="H5341" him in perfect|strong="H7965" peace|strong="H7965", whose mind|strong="H3336" is stayed|strong="H5564" on thee: because he trusteth|strong="H0982" in thee.
4 Trust|strong="H0982" ye in the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w* for ever|strong="H5703": for in the \+w LORD|strong="H3050"\+w* \+w JEHOVAH|strong="H3068"\+w* is everlasting|strong="H5769" strength|strong="H6697":
5 For he bringeth down|strong="H7817" them that dwell|strong="H3427" on high|strong="H4791"; the lofty|strong="H7682" city|strong="H7151", he layeth it low|strong="H8213"; he layeth it low|strong="H8213", even to the ground|strong="H0776"; he bringeth|strong="H5060" it even to the dust|strong="H6083".
6 The foot|strong="H7272" shall tread it down|strong="H7429", even the feet|strong="H7272" of the poor|strong="H6041", and the steps|strong="H6471" of the needy|strong="H1800".
7 The way|strong="H0734" of the just|strong="H6662" is uprightness|strong="H4339": thou, most upright|strong="H3477", dost weigh|strong="H6424" the path|strong="H4570" of the just|strong="H6662".
8 Yea, in the way|strong="H0734" of thy judgments|strong="H4941", O \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*, have we waited|strong="H6960" for thee; the desire|strong="H8378" of our soul|strong="H5315" is to thy name|strong="H8034", and to the remembrance|strong="H2143" of thee.
9 With my soul|strong="H5315" have I desired|strong="H0183" thee in the night|strong="H3915"; yea, with my spirit|strong="H7307" within|strong="H7130" me will I seek thee early|strong="H7836": for when thy judgments|strong="H4941" are in the earth|strong="H0776", the inhabitants|strong="H3427" of the world|strong="H8398" will learn|strong="H3925" righteousness|strong="H6664".
10 Let favour be shewed|strong="H2603" to the wicked|strong="H7563", yet will he not|strong="H1077" learn|strong="H3925" righteousness|strong="H6664": in the land|strong="H0776" of uprightness|strong="H5229" will he deal unjustly|strong="H5765", and will not|strong="H1077" behold|strong="H7200" the majesty|strong="H1348" of the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*.
11 \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*, when thy hand|strong="H3027" is lifted up|strong="H7311", they will not see|strong="H2372": but they shall see|strong="H2372", and be ashamed|strong="H0954" for their envy|strong="H7068" at the people|strong="H5971"; yea, the fire|strong="H0784" of thine enemies|strong="H6862" shall devour|strong="H0398" them.
12 \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*, thou wilt ordain|strong="H8239" peace|strong="H7965" for us: for thou also hast wrought|strong="H6466" all our works|strong="H4639" in us.
13 O \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w* our God|strong="H0430", other lords|strong="H0113" beside|strong="H2108" thee have had dominion|strong="H1166" over us: but by thee only will we make mention|strong="H2142" of thy name|strong="H8034".
14 They are dead|strong="H4191", they shall not live|strong="H2421"; they are deceased|strong="H7496", they shall not rise|strong="H6965": therefore hast thou visited|strong="H6485" and destroyed|strong="H8045" them, and made all their memory|strong="H2143" to perish|strong="H0006".
15 Thou hast increased|strong="H3254" the nation|strong="H1471", O \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*, thou hast increased|strong="H3254" the nation|strong="H1471": thou art glorified|strong="H3513": thou hadst removed it far|strong="H7368" unto all the ends|strong="H7099" of the earth|strong="H0776".
16 \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*, in trouble|strong="H6862" have they visited|strong="H6485" thee, they poured out|strong="H6694" a prayer|strong="H3908" when thy chastening|strong="H4148" was upon them.
17 Like|strong="H3644" as a woman with child|strong="H2030", that draweth near|strong="H7126" the time of her delivery|strong="H3205", is in pain|strong="H2342", and crieth out|strong="H2199" in her pangs|strong="H2256"; so have we been in thy sight|strong="H6440", O \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*.
18 We have been with child|strong="H2029", we have been in pain|strong="H2342", we have as it were|strong="H3644" brought forth|strong="H3205" wind|strong="H7307"; we have not wrought|strong="H6213" any deliverance|strong="H3444" in the earth|strong="H0776"; neither|strong="H1077" have the inhabitants|strong="H3427" of the world|strong="H8398" fallen|strong="H5307".
19 Thy dead|strong="H4191" men shall live|strong="H2421", together with my dead body|strong="H5038" shall they arise|strong="H6965". Awake|strong="H6974" and sing|strong="H7442", ye that dwell|strong="H7931" in dust|strong="H6083": for thy dew|strong="H2919" is as the dew|strong="H2919" of herbs|strong="H0219", and the earth|strong="H0776" shall cast out|strong="H5307" the dead|strong="H7496".
20 Come|strong="H3212", my people|strong="H5971", enter|strong="H0935" thou into thy chambers|strong="H2315", and shut|strong="H5462" thy doors|strong="H1817" about thee: hide|strong="H2247" thyself as it were for a little|strong="H4592" moment|strong="H7281", until the indignation|strong="H2195" be overpast|strong="H5674".
21 For, behold, the \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w* cometh out|strong="H3318" of his place|strong="H4725" to punish|strong="H6485" the inhabitants|strong="H3427" of the earth|strong="H0776" for their iniquity|strong="H5771": the earth|strong="H0776" also shall disclose|strong="H1540" her blood|strong="H1818", and shall no more cover|strong="H3680" her slain|strong="H2026".
