1 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. 2 Open ye the gates, that the righ­teous na­tion which keep­eth the truth may en­ter in. 3 Thou wilt keep him in per­fect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: be­cause he trusteth in thee. 4 Trust ye in the LORD for ev­er: for in the LORD JE­HO­VAH is ev­er­last­ing strength: 5 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. 6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. 7 The way of the just is up­right­ness: thou, most up­right, dost weigh the path of the just. 8 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. 9 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. 10 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. 11 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. 12 LORD, thou wilt or­dain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. 13 O LORD our God, other lords be­side thee have had do­min­ion over us: but by thee only will we make men­tion of thy name. 14 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. 15 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. 16 LORD, in trou­ble have they vis­it­ed thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chas­ten­ing was upon them. 17 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. 18 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. 19 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. 20 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. 21 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.
