In that day shall this song
be sung
in the land
of Judah
; We have a strong
city
; salvation
will God appoint
for walls
and bulwarks
.
Open ye the gates
, that the righteous
nation
which keepeth
the truth
may enter in
.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect
peace
, whose mind
is stayed
on thee : because he trusteth
in thee.
Trust ye in the LORD
for ever
: for in the LORD
JEHOVAH
is everlasting
strength
:
For he bringeth 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
.
The foot shall tread it down
, even the feet
of the poor
, and the steps
of the needy
.
The way of the just
is uprightness
: thou, most upright
, dost weigh
the path
of the just
.
Yea, in the way of thy judgments
, O LORD
, have we waited
for thee; the desire
of our soul
is to thy name
, and to the remembrance
of thee.
With my soul have I desired
thee in the night
; yea, with my spirit
within
me will I seek thee early
: for when thy judgments
are in the earth
, the inhabitants
of the world
will learn
righteousness
.
Let favour be shewed to the wicked
, yet will he not
learn
righteousness
: in the land
of uprightness
will he deal unjustly
, and will not
behold
the majesty
of the LORD
.
LORD, when thy hand
is lifted up
, they will not see
: but they shall see
, and be ashamed
for their envy
at the people
; yea, the fire
of thine enemies
shall devour
them.
LORD, thou wilt ordain
peace
for us: for thou also hast wrought
all our works
in us.
O LORD our God
, other lords
beside
thee have had dominion
over us: but by thee only will we make mention
of thy name
.
They are dead, they shall not live
; they are deceased
, they shall not rise
: therefore hast thou visited
and destroyed
them, and made all their memory
to perish
.
Thou hast increased the nation
, O LORD
, thou hast increased
the nation
: thou art glorified
: thou hadst removed it far
unto all the ends
of the earth
.
LORD, in trouble
have they visited
thee, they poured out
a prayer
when thy chastening
was upon them.
Like as a woman with child
, that draweth near
the time of her delivery
, is in pain
, and crieth out
in her pangs
; so have we been in thy sight
, O LORD
.
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
.
Thy dead men shall live
, together with my dead body
shall they arise
. Awake
and sing
, ye that dwell
in dust
: for thy dew
is as the dew
of herbs
, and the earth
shall cast out
the dead
.
Come, my people
, enter
thou into thy chambers
, and shut
thy doors
about thee: hide
thyself as it were for a little
moment
, until the indignation
be overpast
.
For, behold, the LORD cometh 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
.
