The Song of Redeemed Judah

26 At that time,[a] people will sing this song[b] in the land of Judah:

“We have a strong city;
    God crafts victory,
        its walls and ramparts.[c]
Open your[d] gates,
    so the righteous nation that safeguards its faith may enter.
You will keep perfectly peaceful[e]
    the one whose mind remains focused on you,
        because he remains[f] in you.
