26 In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah:

“We have a strong city.
    God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter:
    the one which keeps faith.
You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace,
    because he trusts in you.
Trust in Yahweh forever;
    for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock.
For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city.
    He lays it low.
    He lays it low even to the ground.
    He brings it even to the dust.
The foot shall tread it down,
    even the feet of the poor
    and the steps of the needy.”

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)
