* In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah : "We have a strong city ; God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks . * Open the gates , That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in . * You will keep him in perfect peace , Whose mind is stayed on You , Because he trusts in You . * Trust in the LORD forever , For in Yah , the LORD , is everlasting strength . * For He brings down those who dwell on high , The lofty city ; He lays it low , He lays it low to the ground , He brings it down to the dust . * The foot shall tread it down -- The feet of the poor And the steps of the needy ." * The way of the just is uprightness ; O Most Upright , You weigh the path of the just . * Yes , in the way of Your judgments , O LORD , we have waited for You ; The desire of our soul is for Your name And for the remembrance of You . * With my soul I have desired You in the night , Yes , by my spirit within me I will seek You early ; For when Your judgments are in the earth , The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness . * Let grace be shown to the wicked , Yet he will not learn righteousness ; In the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly , And will not behold the majesty of the LORD . * LORD , when Your hand is lifted up , they will not see . But they will see and be ashamed For their envy of people ; Yes , the fire of Your enemies shall devour them . * LORD , You will establish peace for us , For You have also done all our works in us . * O LORD our God , masters besides You Have had dominion over us ; But by You only we make mention of Your name . * They are dead , they will not live ; They are deceased , they will not rise . Therefore You have punished and destroyed them , And made all their memory to perish . * You have increased the nation , O LORD , You have increased the nation ; You are glorified ; You have expanded all the borders of the land . * LORD , in trouble they have visited You , They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them . * As a woman with child Is in pain and cries out in her pangs , When she draws near the time of her delivery , So have we been in Your sight , O LORD . * We have been with child , we have been in pain ; We have , as it were , brought forth wind ; We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth , Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen . * Your dead shall live ; Together with my dead body they shall arise . Awake and sing , you who dwell in dust ; For your dew is like the dew of herbs , And the earth shall cast out the dead . * Come , my people , enter your chambers , And shut your doors behind you ; Hide yourself , as it were , for a little moment , Until the indignation is past . * For behold , the LORD comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity ; The earth will also disclose her blood , And will no more cover her slain .
