1	In that day shall this song be sung# in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint# for walls and bulwarks.
			2	Open# ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth# the truth may enter in# . [truth: Heb. truths]
			3	Thou wilt keep# him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed# on thee : because he trusteth# in thee. [perfect...: Heb. peace, peace] [mind: or, thought, or, imagination]
			4	Trust# ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: [everlasting...: Heb. the rock of ages]
			5	For he bringeth 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, most upright, dost weigh# the path of the just.
			8	Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited# for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
			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 in the earth, the inhabitants# of the world will learn# righteousness.
			10	Let favour be shewed# to the wicked, yet will he not learn# righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly# , and will not behold# the majesty of the LORD.
			11	LORD, when thy hand is lifted up# , they will not see# : but they shall see# , and be ashamed# for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour# them. [at...: or, toward thy people]
			12	LORD, thou wilt ordain# peace for us: for thou also hast wrought# all our works in us. [in us: or, for us]
			13	O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion# over us: but by thee only will we make mention# of thy name.
			14	They are dead# , they shall not live# ; they are deceased, they shall not rise# : therefore hast thou visited# and destroyed# them, and made all their memory to perish# .
			15	Thou hast increased# the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased# the nation: thou art glorified# : thou hadst removed it far# unto all the ends of the earth.
			16	LORD, in trouble have they visited# thee, they poured out# a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. [prayer: Heb. secret speech]
			17	Like as a woman with child, that draweth near# the time of her delivery# , is in pain# , and crieth out# in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.
			18	We have been with child# , we have been in pain# , we have as it were brought forth# wind; we have not wrought# any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants# of the world fallen# .
			19	Thy dead# men shall live# , together with my dead body shall they arise# . Awake# and sing# , ye that dwell# in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out# the dead.
			20	Come# , my people, enter# thou into thy chambers, and shut# thy doors about thee: hide# thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast# .
			21	For, behold, the LORD cometh 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# . [blood: Heb. bloods]
