\v 1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
|
|
\q1 We have a strong city; God has made salvation its walls and ramparts.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Open the gates, that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 The mind that is stayed on you, you will keep him in perfect peace, for he trusts in you.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting rock.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 For he will bring down those who live proudly; the fortified city
|
|
\q1 he will lay low, he will lay low to the ground; he will level it to the dust.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 It will be trampled down by the feet of the poor and the treading of the needy.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 The path of the righteous is level, Righteous One; the path of the righteous you make straight.
|
|
\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Yes, in the path of your judgments, Yahweh, we wait for you;
|
|
\q1 your name and your reputation are our desire.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 I have longed for you in the night; yes, my spirit within me seeks you earnestly.
|
|
\q1 For when your judgments come on the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn about righteousness.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Let favor be shown to the wicked one, but he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he acts wickedly
|
|
\q1 and does not see the majesty of Yahweh.
|
|
|

\s5

\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, but they do not notice.
|
|
\q1 But they will see your zeal for the people and be put to shame, because fire of your adversaries will devour them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Yahweh, you will bring about peace for us; for indeed, you have also accomplished all our works for us.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 Yahweh our God, other masters besides you have ruled over us; but we praise your name alone.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 They are dead, they will not live; they are deceased, they will not arise.
|
|
\q1 Indeed, you came in judgment and destroyed them, and made every memory of them to perish.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 You have increased the nation, Yahweh, you have increased the nation; you are honored;
|
|
\q1 you have extended all the borders of the land.
|
|
|

\q1
|
|
\v 16 Yahweh, in trouble have they looked to you; they whispered prayers when your discipline was on them.

\q1
|
|
\v 17 As a pregnant woman nears the time for her to give birth, when she is in pain and cries out in her labor pains,
|
|
\q1 so we have been before you, Lord.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 We have been pregnant, we have been in labor, but it is as if we have only given birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth,
|
|
\q1 and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 Your dead will live; their dead bodies will arise. Awake and sing for joy, you who live in the dust;
|
|
\s5

|
\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 Go, my people, enter into your rooms and shut your doors behind you;
|
|
\q1 hide for a little while, until the indignation has passed by.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 For, look, Yahweh is about to come out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
|
|
\q1 the earth
|
|
will uncover her bloodshed, and will no longer conceal her slain.
