Another Song of Praise

26 At that time a song will be sung in the land of Judah. It will say,

“We have a strong city.
    God’s saving power surrounds it
    like walls and towers.
Open its gates
    so that those who do what is right can enter.
    They are the people who remain faithful to God.
Lord, you will give perfect peace
    to those who commit themselves to be faithful to you.
    That’s because they trust in you.

“Trust in the Lord forever.
    The Lord himself is the Rock.
    The Lord will keep us safe forever.
He brings down those who are proud.
    He pulls down cities that have high walls.
They fall down flat on the ground.
    He throws them down to the dust.
The feet of those who were treated badly stomp on them.
    Those who were poor walk all over them.”

A Song of Praise

26 In that day(A) this song will be sung(B) in the land of Judah:

We have a strong city;(C)
    God makes salvation
    its walls(D) and ramparts.(E)
Open the gates(F)
    that the righteous(G) nation may enter,
    the nation that keeps faith.
You will keep in perfect peace(H)
    those whose minds are steadfast,
    because they trust(I) in you.
Trust(J) in the Lord forever,(K)
    for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock(L) eternal.
He humbles those who dwell on high,
    he lays the lofty city low;
he levels it to the ground(M)
    and casts it down to the dust.(N)
Feet trample(O) it down—
    the feet of the oppressed,(P)
    the footsteps of the poor.(Q)
