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 ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth truth may enter in.
3. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
4. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is an everlasting rock.
5. For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth 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: thou that art up right dost direct the path of the just.
8. Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; to thy name and to thy memorial is the desire of our soul.
