1. On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:We have a strong city.Its walls and fortifications provide safety.
2. Open the gates, and let the righteous nation come in,the nation that remains faithful.
3. With perfect peace you will protect those whose minds cannot be changed,because they trust you.
4. Trust the Lord always,because the Lord, the Lord alone, is an everlasting rock.
5. He has brought down those who live high in the towering city.He levels it.He levels it to the ground and throws it into the dust.
6. Feet trample it,the feet of the oppressed,the footsteps of the poor.
7. The path of the righteous is level.O Upright One, you make the road of the righteous smooth.
8. Certainly, we wait with hope for you, O Lord,⌊as we follow⌋ the path of your guiding principles.We want to remember you and your name.
9. With my soul I long for you at night.Yes, with my spirit I eagerly look for you.When your guiding principles are on earth,those who live in the world learn to do what is right.
10. Although the wicked are shown pity,they do not learn to do what is right.They do what is wrong in the upright landand do not see the majesty of the Lord.
