* In that day , this song will be sung in the land of Judah : "We have a strong city . God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks . * Open the gates , that the righteous nation may enter : the one which keeps faith . * You will keep whoever 's mind is steadfast in perfect peace , because he trusts in you . * Trust in Yahweh forever ; for in Yah , Yahweh , is an everlasting Rock . * For he has brought down those who dwell on high , the lofty city . He lays it low . He lays it low even to the ground . He brings 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 . You who are upright make the path of the righteous level . * Yes , in the way of your judgments , Yahweh , have we waited for you . Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul . * With my soul have I desired you in the night . Yes , with my spirit within me will I seek you earnestly ; for when your judgments are in the earth , the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness . * Let favor be shown to the wicked , yet he will not learn righteousness . In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully , and will not see Yahweh 's majesty . * Yahweh , your hand is lifted up , yet they don 't see ; but they will see your zeal for the people , and be disappointed . Yes , fire will consume your adversaries . * Yahweh , you will ordain peace for us , for you have also worked all our works for us . * Yahweh our God , other lords besides you have had dominion over us , but by you only will we make mention of your name . * The dead shall not live . The deceased shall not rise . Therefore have you visited and destroyed them , and caused all memory of them to perish . * You have increased the nation , O Yahweh . You have increased the nation ! You are glorified ! You have enlarged all the borders of the land . * Yahweh , in trouble they have visited you . They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them . * Like as a woman with child , who draws near the time of her delivery , is in pain and cries out in her pangs ; so we have been before you , Yahweh . * We have been with child . We have been in pain . We gave birth , it seems , only to wind . We have not worked any deliverance in the earth ; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen . * Your dead shall live . My dead bodies shall arise . Awake and sing , you who dwell in the dust ; for your dew is like the dew of herbs , and the earth will cast forth the dead . * Come , my people , enter into your rooms , and shut your doors behind you . Hide yourself for a little moment , until the indignation is past . * For , behold , Yahweh comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity . The earth also will disclose her blood , and will no longer cover her slain .
