A Song of Praise to the Lord

26 In that day, everyone in the land of Judah will sing this song:

Our city is strong!
    We are surrounded by the walls of God’s salvation.
Open the gates to all who are righteous;
    allow the faithful to enter.
You will keep in perfect peace
    all who trust in you,
    all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Trust in the Lord always,
    for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.
He humbles the proud
    and brings down the arrogant city.
    He brings it down to the dust.
The poor and oppressed trample it underfoot,
    and the needy walk all over it.

Yahweh Will Establish Peace

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

“We have a (B)strong city;
He sets up walls and ramparts for (C)salvation.
Open the (D)gates, that the (E)righteous nation may enter,
The one that keeps faithfulness.
The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect (F)peace
Because he trusts in You.
(G)Trust in Yahweh forever,
For in Yah—Yahweh Himselfwe have an everlasting (H)Rock.
For He has laid low those who settle on high, the [a](I)exalted city;
(J)He brings it low, He brings it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.
(K)The foot will trample it,
The feet of the (L)afflicted, the steps of the poor.”
