1. In that H1931 day H3117 shall this H2088 song H7892 be sung H7891 in the land H776 of Judah H3063 ; We have a strong H5797 city H5892 ; salvation H3444 will God appoint H7896 for walls H2346 and bulwarks H2426 .
2. Open H6605 ye the gates H8179 , that the righteous H6662 nation H1471 which keepeth H8104 the truth H529 may enter in H935 .
3. Thou wilt keep H5341 him in perfect peace H7965 H7965 , whose mind H3336 is stayed H5564 on thee : because H3588 he trusteth H982 in thee.
4. Trust H982 ye in the LORD H3068 forever H5704 H5703 : for H3588 in the LORD H3050 JEHOVAH H3068 is everlasting H5769 strength H6697 :
5. For H3588 he bringeth down H7817 them that dwell H3427 on high H4791 ; the lofty H7682 city H7151 , he layeth it low H8213 ; he layeth it low H8213 , even to H5704 the ground H776 ; he bringeth H5060 it even to H5704 the dust H6083 .
6. The foot H7272 shall tread it down H7429 , even the feet H7272 of the poor H6041 , and the steps H6471 of the needy H1800 .
7. The way H734 of the just H6662 is uprightness H4339 : thou , most upright H3477 , dost weigh H6424 the path H4570 of the just H6662 .
8. Yea H637 , in the way H734 of thy judgments H4941 , O LORD H3068 , have we waited H6960 for thee ; the desire H8378 of our soul H5315 is to thy name H8034 , and to the remembrance H2143 of thee.
9. With my soul H5315 have I desired H183 thee in the night H3915 ; yea H637 , with my spirit H7307 within H7130 me will I seek thee early H7836 : for H3588 when H834 thy judgments H4941 are in the earth H776 , the inhabitants H3427 of the world H8398 will learn H3925 righteousness H6664 .
10. Let favor be showed H2603 to the wicked H7563 , yet will he not H1077 learn H3925 righteousness H6664 : in the land H776 of uprightness H5229 will he deal unjustly H5765 , and will not H1077 behold H7200 the majesty H1348 of the LORD H3068 .
11. LORD H3068 , when thy hand H3027 is lifted up H5375 , they will not H1077 see H2372 : but they shall see H2372 , and be ashamed H954 for their envy H7068 at the people H5971 ; yea H637 , the fire H784 of thine enemies H6862 shall devour H398 them.
12. LORD H3068 , thou wilt ordain H8239 peace H7965 for us: for H3588 thou also H1571 hast wrought H6466 all H3605 our works H4639 in us.
13. O LORD H3068 our God H430 , other lords H113 beside H2108 thee have had dominion H1166 over us: but by thee only H905 will we make mention H2142 of thy name H8034 .
14. They are dead H4191 , they shall not H1077 live H2421 ; they are deceased H7496 , they shall not H1077 rise H6965 : therefore H3651 hast thou visited H6485 and destroyed H8045 them , and made all H3605 their memory H2143 to perish H6 .
15. Thou hast increased H3254 the nation H1471 , O LORD H3068 , thou hast increased H3254 the nation H1471 : thou art glorified H3513 : thou hadst removed it far H7368 unto all H3605 the ends H7099 of the earth H776 .
16. LORD H3068 , in trouble H6862 have they visited H6485 thee , they poured out H6694 a prayer H3908 when thy chastening H4148 was upon them.
17. Like as H3644 a woman with child H2030 , that draweth near H7126 the time of her delivery H3205 , is in pain H2342 , and crieth out H2199 in her pangs H2256 ; so H3651 have we been H1961 in thy sight H4480 H6440 , O LORD H3068 .
18. We have been with child H2029 , we have been in pain H2342 , we have as it were H3644 brought forth H3205 wind H7307 ; we have not H1077 wrought H6213 any deliverance H3444 in the earth H776 ; neither H1077 have the inhabitants H3427 of the world H8398 fallen H5307 .
19. Thy dead H4191 men shall live H2421 , together with my dead body H5038 shall they arise H6965 . Awake H6974 and sing H7442 , ye that dwell H7931 in dust H6083 : for H3588 thy dew H2919 is as the dew H2919 of herbs H219 , and the earth H776 shall cast out H5307 the dead H7496 .
20. Come H1980 , my people H5971 , enter H935 thou into thy chambers H2315 , and shut H5462 thy doors H1817 about H1157 thee: hide H2247 thyself as it were for a little H4592 moment H7281 , until H5704 the indignation H2195 be overpast H5674 .
21. For H3588 , behold H2009 , the LORD H3068 cometh H3318 out of his place H4480 H4725 to punish H6485 the inhabitants H3427 of the earth H776 for their iniquity H5771 : the earth H776 also shall disclose H1540 H853 her blood H1818 , and shall no H3808 more H5750 cover H3680 H5921 her slain H2026 .
