Loblied zur Verherrlichung Gottes
26 Zu jener Zeit wird man dieses Lied im Lande Juda singen:
Wir haben eine feste Stadt;
Heil setzt er zu Mauern und zur Schutzwehr.
2 Tut die Tore auf,
daß hineingehe ein gerechtes Volk, welches Treue bewahrt!
3 Einem festen Herzen bewahrst du den Frieden,
den Frieden, weil es auf dich vertraut.
4 Vertrauet auf den Herrn immerdar;
ja, auf Gott, den Herrn, den Fels der Ewigkeiten!
5 Denn er hat erniedrigt die Bewohner der Höhe
und wirft nieder die hochragende Stadt;
er wirft sie zu Boden,
stürzt sie in den Staub,
6 daß sie mit Füßen zertreten wird,
mit den Füßen der Elenden, mit den Tritten der Schwachen.
7 Der Pfad des Gerechten ist richtig;
geradeaus bahnst du die Bahn des Gerechten.
8 Sogar auf dem Wege deiner Gerichte, Herr, harrten wir dein;
auf deinen Namen und dein Gedächtnis war das Verlangen der Seele gerichtet.
9 Meine Seele begehrte deiner in der Nacht,
und mein Geist in mir sehnte sich nach dir;
denn sobald deine Gerichte die Erde treffen,
lernen die Bewohner des Erdkreises Gerechtigkeit.
10 Wird der Gottlose begnadigt, so lernt er doch nicht Gerechtigkeit;
in einem Lande, wo beste Ordnung herrscht,
handelt er verkehrt und sieht nicht die Majestät des Herrn.
11 Herr, deine Hand ist erhoben;
sie sehen es nicht!
Sie werden es aber sehen und sich schämen müssen.
Der Eifer für das Volk, das Zornesfeuer
wird deine Feinde verzehren.
12 Uns aber, Herr, wirst du Frieden schaffen;
denn auch alle unsre Werke
hast du für uns vollbracht.
13 O Herr, unser Gott, andere Herren als du herrschten über uns;
aber fortan gedenken wir allein deiner, deines Namens!
14 Sie, die nun tot sind, werden nicht wieder lebendig;
Schatten stehen nicht wieder auf;
darum hast du sie gerichtet und ausgerottet
und jede Erinnerung an sie vernichtet.
15 Du hast, o Herr, zum Volk hinzugetan,
du hast das Volk vermehrt;
du hast dich herrlich erwiesen,
du hast erweitert alle Grenzen des Landes.
16 Herr, in der Trübsal suchten sie dich,
sie ergossen sich in leisem Flehen, als deine Züchtigung sie traf.
17 Wie ein Weib, das schwanger und dem Gebären nahe ist,
sich windet und vor Schmerzen schreit,
so waren auch wir, Herr, vor deinem Angesicht:
18 Wir waren schwanger, wanden uns in Schmerzen
und gebaren gleichsam Wind;
wir konnten dem Lande nicht Heil verschaffen,
und es wurden keine Erdenbürger geboren.
19 Aber deine Toten werden leben,
und mein Leichnam wird auferstehen!
Wachet auf und jubelt[a], ihr Bewohner des Staubes!
Denn dein Tau ist ein Morgentau,
und die Erde wird die Toten wiedergeben.
20 So gehe nun, mein Volk, in deine Kammern
und schließe die Tür hinter dir zu
und verbirg dich einen kleinen Augenblick,
bis der Zorn vorübergegangen ist!
21 Denn siehe, der Herr wird von seinem Orte ausgehen,
die Bosheit der Erdenbewohner an ihnen heimzusuchen;
und die Erde wird das auf ihr vergossene Blut offenbaren
und die auf ihr Erschlagenen nicht länger verbergen.

Song of Trust in God’s Protection
26 (A)On 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 [a](C)security.
2 Open the (D)gates, that the (E)righteous nation may enter,
The one that [b]remains faithful.
3 The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect (F)peace,
Because he trusts in You.
4 (G)Trust in the Lord forever,
For in [c]God the Lord, we have an everlasting (H)Rock.
5 For He has brought low those who dwell on high, the (I)unassailable city;
(J)He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.
6 (K)The foot will trample it,
The feet of the (L)poor, the steps of the helpless.”
7 The (M)way of the righteous is smooth;
O Upright One, (N)make the path of the righteous level.
8 Indeed, while following the way of (O)Your judgments, Lord,
We have waited for You eagerly;
(P)Your name, and (Q)remembering You, is the desire of our souls.
9 (R)At night [d]my soul longs for You,
Indeed, [e]my spirit within me (S)seeks You diligently;
For when the earth [f]experiences Your judgments,
The inhabitants of the world (T)learn righteousness.
10 Though the wicked person is shown compassion,
He does not (U)learn righteousness;
He (V)deals unjustly in the land of uprightness,
And does not perceive the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, Your hand is lifted up, yet they (W)do not see it.
[g]They see (X)Your zeal for the people and are put to shame;
Indeed, [h](Y)fire will devour Your enemies.
12 Lord, You will establish (Z)peace for us,
Since You have also performed for us all our works.
13 Lord, our God, (AA)other masters besides You have ruled us;
But through You alone we [i](AB)confess Your name.
14 (AC)The dead will not live, the [j]departed spirits will not rise;
Therefore You have (AD)punished and destroyed them,
And You have eliminated all remembrance of them.
15 (AE)You have increased the nation, Lord,
You have increased the nation, You are glorified;
You have (AF)extended all the borders of the land.
16 Lord, they sought You (AG)in distress;
They [k]could only whisper a prayer,
Your discipline was upon them.
17 (AH)As the pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth,
She writhes and cries out in her labor pains;
This is how we were before You, Lord.
18 We were pregnant, we writhed in labor,
We (AI)gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.
We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth,
Nor were (AJ)inhabitants of the world [l]born.
19 Your (AK)dead will live;
[m]Their corpses will rise.
You who lie in the dust, (AL)awake and shout for joy,
For your dew is as the dew of the [n]dawn,
And the earth will [o]give birth to the [p]departed spirits.
20 Come, my people, (AM)enter your rooms
And close your doors behind you;
Hide for a little [q](AN)while
Until (AO)indignation [r]runs its course.
21 For behold, the Lord is about to (AP)come out from His place
To (AQ)punish the inhabitants of the earth for their wrongdoing;
And the earth will (AR)reveal her bloodshed
And will no longer cover her slain.

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)
2 Open the gates(F)
that the righteous(G) nation may enter,
the nation that keeps faith.
3 You will keep in perfect peace(H)
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust(I) in you.
4 Trust(J) in the Lord forever,(K)
for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock(L) eternal.
5 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)
6 Feet trample(O) it down—
the feet of the oppressed,(P)
the footsteps of the poor.(Q)
7 The path of the righteous is level;(R)
you, the Upright One,(S) make the way of the righteous smooth.(T)
8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,[a](U)
we wait(V) for you;
your name(W) and renown
are the desire of our hearts.
9 My soul yearns for you in the night;(X)
in the morning my spirit longs(Y) for you.
When your judgments(Z) come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness.(AA)
10 But when grace is shown to the wicked,(AB)
they do not learn righteousness;
even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil(AC)
and do not regard(AD) the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, your hand is lifted high,(AE)
but they do not see(AF) it.
Let them see your zeal(AG) for your people and be put to shame;(AH)
let the fire(AI) reserved for your enemies consume them.
12 Lord, you establish peace(AJ) for us;
all that we have accomplished you have done(AK) for us.
13 Lord our God, other lords(AL) besides you have ruled over us,
but your name(AM) alone do we honor.(AN)
14 They are now dead,(AO) they live no more;
their spirits(AP) do not rise.
You punished them and brought them to ruin;(AQ)
you wiped out all memory of them.(AR)
15 You have enlarged the nation, Lord;
you have enlarged the nation.(AS)
You have gained glory for yourself;
you have extended all the borders(AT) of the land.
16 Lord, they came to you in their distress;(AU)
when you disciplined(AV) them,
they could barely whisper(AW) a prayer.[b]
17 As a pregnant woman about to give birth(AX)
writhes and cries out in her pain,
so were we in your presence, Lord.
18 We were with child, we writhed in labor,
but we gave birth(AY) to wind.
We have not brought salvation(AZ) to the earth,
and the people of the world have not come to life.(BA)
19 But your dead(BB) will live, Lord;
their bodies will rise—
let those who dwell in the dust(BC)
wake up and shout for joy—
your dew(BD) is like the dew of the morning;
the earth will give birth to her dead.(BE)
20 Go, my people, enter your rooms
and shut the doors(BF) behind you;
hide(BG) yourselves for a little while
until his wrath(BH) has passed by.(BI)
21 See, the Lord is coming(BJ) out of his dwelling(BK)
to punish(BL) the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will disclose the blood(BM) shed on it;
the earth will conceal its slain no longer.
