2. Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.
3. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusts in thee.
4. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in JAH, the Lord is the strength of the ages:
5. For he has brought down those that dwelt on high; he has humbled the lofty city; he humbled her, even to the ground; he brought her down even to the dust.
6. The foot shall tread her 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, we wait for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name and to the remembrance of thee.
9. With my soul I desire thee in the night; yea, even as long as the spirit is within me I will seek thee early: for as long as thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10. Let favour be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
11. Lord, when thy hand is withdrawn, they will not see: but they shall see in the end and be ashamed with the zeal of the people. And fire shall consume thine enemies.
