4. Trust in the Lord forever,for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
5. For he has humbledthe inhabitants of the height,the lofty city.He lays it low, lays it low to the ground,casts it to the dust.
6. The foot tramples it,the feet of the poor,the steps of the needy.”
7. The path of the righteous is level; you make level the way of the righteous.
8. In the path of your judgments,O Lord, we wait for you; your name and remembranceare the desire of our soul.
9. My soul yearns for you in the night;my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when your judgments are in the earth,the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10. If favor is shown to the wicked,he does not learn righteousness;in the land of uprightness he deals corruptlyand does not see the majesty of the Lord.
11. O Lord, your hand is lifted up,but they do not see it.Let them see your zeal for your people, and be ashamed.Let the fire for your adversaries consume them.
12. O Lord, you will ordain peace for us,for you have indeed done for us all our works.
13. O Lord our God, other lords besides you have ruled over us, but your name alone we bring to remembrance.
