XXVI. 1 In. that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a city of strength; salvation will he appoint for walls and rampart.
2 Open ye the gates, that a righteous nation which keepeth truth may enter in.,
3 A steadfast mind thou keepest in peace, peace; because he is secure in thee.
4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever ; for in Jah the Lord is a Rock of Ages.
5 For he hath brought doWn the dwellers in the height, the lofty city 3 he bringeth. it low, bringeth it low even to the earth ; he bringeth it even to the dust.
6 The foot shall trample on it, the feet Of the afflicted, the steps of the poor.
7 The way for the righteous is straightness; thou levellest straight the path of the righteous.
8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee 3 the desire of our soul is for thy Name and thy memorial.
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 upon the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, he learneth not righteousness ; in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not look upon the majesty of the Lord
11 Lord, thy hand is lifted up, they will not see ; they shall see, and be ashamed at the jealousy for a people ; yea, fire shall devour thine enemies.
12 Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us ; for all our works also hast thou wrought for us.
