1. In that day, shall be sung this song, in the land of Judah, -- A strong city, have we! Salvation, will he set for walls and rampart,
2. Open ye the gates, -- That there may enter in -- a righteous nation preserving fidelity.
3. A purpose sustained, thou wilt guard, [saying], Prosper! Prosper! Because in thee, hath he been led to trust.
4. Trust ye in Yahweh, unto futurity, -- For, in Yah, Yahweh, is a rock of ages.
5. For he hath brought down the inhabitants of the height the city exalted, -- He layeth it low, Layeth it low even to the ground, Levelleth it, even to the dust:
6. The foot trampleth it, -- The feet of the lowly, The steps of the weak,
7. The path of a righteous man, is, even, -- O Upright One! the track of a righteous man, thou makest level.
8. Surely in the path of thy regulations, O Yahweh, we waited for thee, -- Unto thy Name and unto thy Memorial, was there a longing of soul:
9. With my soul, longed I for thee in the night, Yea with my spirit within me, I kept on searching for thee, -- For, when thy regulations [extend] to the earth, The inhabitants of the world will have learned, righteousness.
10. Let favour be shewed to the lawless, he hath not learned righteousness, In a land of honest dealings, he acteth perversely, -- And seeth not the splendour of Yahweh.
11. O Yahweh though thy hand be lifted up, -- yet do they not see, Would they might see -- and turn pale at a peoples zeal, -- Surely, the fire of thine enemies, must consume them!
12. O Yahweh, thou wilt ensure prosperity for us, -- hor even all our works, hast thou wrought for us,
13. O Yahweh, our God! Lords other than thee, have owned us, -- By thyself alone, will we call upon thy Name.
14. The dead, come not to life again, The shades, do not arise, -- Therefore, thou hast visited and destroyed them, And caused to perish every memorial of them.
15. Thou hast increased the nation, O Yahweh, Thou hast increased the nation thou hast gotten thyself glory, Thou hast extended far, all the ends of the land.
16. O Yahweh! in distress, they sought thee, -- They poured out a whispered prayer, when thy chastening was upon them.
17. Like as a woman with child -- Draweth near to giving birth, Is in pain, Crieth out in her pangs So, were we before thee, O Yahweh; --
18. We were with child -- We were in pain, As it were we brought forth wind, -- Salvation, we could not accomplish for the earth, Neither were horn the inhabitants of the world.
19. Thy dead, shall come to life again, My dead body, they shall arise, -- Awake and shout for joy, ye that dwell in the dust For, a dew of light, is thy dew, And, earth, to the shades shall give birth.
20. Come my people, enter into thy chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, -- Hide thee as it were a little moment Till the indignation pass over.
21. For lo! Yahweh, is coming forth out of his place, To visit the iniquity of earths inhabitant upon him, -- Therefore shall the earth unveil her shed-blood, And throw a covering, no longer over her slain.
