1In that day<3117> this<2088> song<7892> will be sung<7891> in the land<776> of Judah<3063>: "We have a strong<5797> city<5892>; He sets<7896> up walls<2346> and ramparts<2426> for security<3444>.
2"Open<6605> the gates<8179>, that the righteous<6662> nation<1471> may enter<935>, The one that remains<8104> faithful<529>.
3"The steadfast<5564> of mind<3336> You will keep<5341> in perfect<7965> peace<7965>, Because<3588> he trusts<982> in You.
4"Trust<982> in the LORD<3068> forever<5703>, For in GOD<3050> the LORD<3068>, we have an everlasting<5769> Rock<6697>.
5"For He has brought<7817> low<7817> those who dwell<3427> on high<4791>, the unassailable<7682> city<7151>; He lays<8213> it low<8213>, He lays<8213> it low<8213> to the ground<776>, He casts<5060> it to the dust<6083>.
6"The foot<7272> will trample<7429> it, The feet<7272> of the afflicted<6041>, the steps<6471> of the helpless<1800>."
7The way<734> of the righteous<6662> is smooth<4339>; O Upright<3477> One<3477>, make<6424> the path<4570> of the righteous<6662> level<6424>.
8Indeed<637>, while following the way<734> of Your judgments<4941>, O LORD<3068>, We have waited<6960> for You eagerly<6960>; Your name<8034>, even Your memory<2143>, is the desire<8378> of our souls<5315>.
9At night<3915> my soul<5315> longs<183> for You, Indeed<637>, my spirit<7307> within<7130> me seeks<7836> You diligently<7836>; For when<3512> the earth<776> experiences Your judgments<4941> The inhabitants<3427> of the world<8398> learn<3925> righteousness<6664>.
10Though the wicked<7563> is shown<2603> favor<2603>, He does not learn<3925> righteousness<6664>; He deals<5765> unjustly<5765> in the land<776> of uprightness<5228>, And does not perceive<7200> the majesty<1348> of the LORD<3068>.
11O LORD<3068>, Your hand<3027> is lifted<7311> up yet they do not see<2372> it. They see<2372> Your zeal<7068> for the people<5971> and are put<954> to shame<954>; Indeed<637>, fire<784> will devour<398> Your enemies<6862>.
12LORD<3068>, You will establish<8239> peace<7965> for us, Since<3588> You have also<1571> performed<6466> for us all<3605> our works<4639>.
13O LORD<3068> our God<430>, other masters<113> besides<2108> You have ruled<1166> us; But through You alone<905> we confess<2142> Your name<8034>.
14The dead<4191> will not live<2421>, the departed<7496> spirits<7496> will not rise<6965>; Therefore<3651> You have punished<6485> and destroyed<8045> them, And You have wiped<6> out all<3605> remembrance<2143> of them.
15You have increased<3254> the nation<1471>, O LORD<3068>, You have increased<3254> the nation<1471>, You are glorified<3513>; You have extended<7368> all<3605> the borders<7099> of the land<776>.
16O LORD<3068>, they sought<6485> You in distress<6862>; They could only whisper<3908> a prayer<3908>, Your chastening<4148> was upon them.
17As the pregnant<2030> woman<2030> approaches<7126> the time to give<3205> birth<3205>, She writhes<2342> and cries<2199> out in her labor<2256> pains<2256>, Thus<3651> were we before<4480><6440> You, O LORD<3068>.
18We were pregnant<2029>, we writhed<2342> in labor, We gave<3205> birth<3205>, as it seems, only to wind<7307>. We could not accomplish<6213> deliverance<3444> for the earth<776>, Nor<1077> were inhabitants<3427> of the world<8398> born<5307>.
19Your dead<4191> will live<2421>; Their corpses<5038> will rise<6965>. You who lie<7931> in the dust<6083>, awake<7019> and shout<7442> for joy<7442>, For your dew<2919> is as the dew<2919> of the dawn<219>, And the earth<776> will give<5307> birth<5307> to the departed<7496> spirits<7496>.
20Come<1980>, my people<5971>, enter<935> into your rooms<2315> And close<5462> your doors<1802> behind<1157> you; Hide<2247> for a little<4592> while<7281> Until<5704> indignation<2195> runs<5674> its course<5674>.
21For behold<2009>, the LORD<3068> is about to come<3318> out from His place<4725> To punish<6485> the inhabitants<3427> of the earth<776> for their iniquity<5771>; And the earth<776> will reveal<1540> her bloodshed<1818> And will no<3808> longer<5750> cover<3680> her slain<2026>.
