Chapter 26

1


 

  In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: we have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Open you the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps faith may enter in.  

 

 

-

3


 

  You will keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on you]; because he trusts in you.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock.  

 

 

-

5


 

  For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city: he lays it low, he lays it low even to the ground; he brings it even to the dust.  

 

 

-

6


 

  The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.  

 

 

-

7


 

  The way of the just is uprightness: you that are upright do direct the path of the just.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Yes, in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, have we waited for you; to your name, even to your memorial [name], is the desire of our soul.  

 

 

-

9


 

  With my soul have I desired you in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you earnestly: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not see the majesty of Yahweh.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, yet they don't see: but they shall see [your] zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yes, fire shall devour your adversaries.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us; for you have also worked all our works for us.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Yahweh our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us; but by you only will we make mention of your name.  

 

 

-

14


 

  [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all memory of them to perish.  

 

 

-

15


 

  You have increased the nation, O Yahweh, you have increased the nation; you are glorified; you have enlarged all the borders of the land.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Yahweh, in trouble have they visited you; they poured out a prayer [when] your chastening was on them.  

 

 

-

17


 

  Like as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, Yahweh.  

 

 

-

18


 

  We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Your dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is [as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Come, my people, enter you into your chambers, and shut your doors about you: hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation be past.  

 

 

-

21


 

  For, behold, Yahweh comes forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
