[1] 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.
[2] Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter:
the one which keeps faith.
[3] You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace,
because he trusts in you.
[4] Trust in Yahweh forever;
for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock.
[5] 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.
[6] The foot shall tread it down,
even the feet of the poor
and the steps of the needy.”
[7] The way of the just is uprightness.
You who are upright make the path of the righteous level. [8] Yes, in the way of your judgments, Yahweh, we have waited for you.
Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
[9] With my soul I have desired you in the night.
Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly;
for when your judgments are on the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
[10] Let favor be shown to the wicked,
yet he will not learn righteousness.
In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully,
and will not see Yahweh’s majesty. [11] Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see;
but they will see your zeal for the people and be disappointed.
Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
[12] Yahweh, you will ordain peace for us,
for you have also done all our work for us.
[13] Yahweh our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us,
but we will only acknowledge your name.
[14] The dead shall not live.
The departed spirits shall not rise.
Therefore you have visited and destroyed them,
and caused all memory of them to perish.
[15] You have increased the nation, O Yahweh.
You have increased the nation!
You are glorified!
You have enlarged all the borders of the land. [16] Yahweh, in trouble they have visited you.
They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
[17] Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery,
is in pain and cries out in her pangs,
so we have been before you, Yahweh.
[18] We have been with child.
We have been in pain.
We gave birth, it seems, only to wind.
We have not worked any deliverance on the earth;
neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
[19] Your dead shall live.
Their dead bodies shall arise.
Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust;
for your dew is like the dew of herbs,
and the earth will cast out the departed spirits. [20] Come, my people, enter into your rooms,
and shut your doors behind you.
Hide yourself for a little moment,
until the indignation is past.
[21] For, behold, Yahweh comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.
The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
King James Version

National Hopes

[1] In that day H3117 shall this song H7892 be sung H7891 in the land H776 of Judah; H3063 We have a strong H5797 city; H5892 salvation H3444 will God appoint H7896 for walls H2346 and bulwarks. H2426 [2] Open H6605 ye the gates, H8179 that the righteous H6662 nation H1471 which keepeth H8104 the truth H529§ may enter in. H935 [3] Thou wilt keep H5341 him in perfect H7965 peace, H7965§ whose mind H3336§ is stayed H5564 on thee: because he trusteth H982 in thee. [4] Trust H982 ye in the Lord H3068 for ever: H5703 for in the Lord H3050 JEHOVAH H3068 is everlasting H5769 strength: H6697§ [5] for H3588 he bringeth down H7817 them that dwell H3427 on high; H4791 the lofty H7682 city, H7151 he layeth it low; H8213 he layeth it low, H8213 even to the ground; H776 he bringeth H5060 it even to the dust. H6083 [6] The foot H7272 shall tread it down, H7429 even the feet H7272 of the poor, H6041 and the steps H6471 of the needy. H1800 [7] The way H734 of the just H6662 is uprightness: H4339 thou, most upright, H3477 dost weigh H6424 the path H4570 of the just. H6662 [8] Yea, in the way H734 of thy judgments, H4941 O Lord, H3068 have we waited H6960 for thee; the desire H8378 of our soul H5315 is to thy name, H8034 and to the remembrance H2143 of thee. [9] With my soul H5315 have I desired H183 thee in the night; H3915 yea, with my spirit H7307 within H7130 me will I seek thee early: H7836 for H3588 when thy judgments H4941 are in the earth, H776 the inhabitants H3427 of the world H8398 will learn H3925 righteousness. H6664 [10] Let favour be shewed H2603 to the wicked, H7563 yet will he not H1077 learn H3925 righteousness: H6664 in the land H776 of uprightness H5229 will he deal unjustly, H5765 and will not H1077 behold H7200 the majesty H1348 of the Lord. H3068 [11] Lord, H3068 when thy hand H3027 is lifted up, H7311 they will not see: H2372 but they shall see, H2372 and be ashamed H954 for their envy H7068 at the people; H5971§ yea, the fire H784 of thine enemies H6862 shall devour H398 them. [12] Lord, H3068 thou wilt ordain H8239 peace H7965 for H3588 us: for thou also hast wrought H6466 all H3605 our works H4639 in us.§ [13] O Lord H3068 our God, H430 other lords H113 beside H2108 thee have had dominion H1166 over us: but by thee only will we make mention H2142 of thy name. H8034 [14] They are dead, H4191 they shall not live; H2421 they are deceased, H7496 they shall not rise: H6965 therefore hast thou visited H6485 and destroyed H8045 them, and made all their memory H2143 to perish. H6 [15] Thou hast increased H3254 the nation, H1471 O Lord, H3068 thou hast increased H3254 the nation: H1471 thou art glorified: H3513 thou hadst removed it far H7368 unto all the ends H7099 of the earth. H776 [16] Lord, H3068 in trouble H6862 have they visited H6485 thee, they poured out H6694 a prayer H3908§ when thy chastening H4148 was upon them. [17] Like H3644 as a woman with child, H2030 that draweth near H7126 the time of her delivery, H3205 is in pain, H2342 and crieth out H2199 in her pangs; H2256 so H3651 have we been in thy sight, H6440 O Lord. H3068 [18] We have been with child, H2029 we have been in pain, H2342 we have as it were H3644 brought forth H3205 wind; H7307 we have not wrought H6213 any deliverance H3444 in the earth; H776 neither H1077 have the inhabitants H3427 of the world H8398 fallen. H5307 [19] Thy dead H4191 men shall live, H2421 together with my dead body H5038 shall they arise. H6965 Awake H6974 and sing, H7442 ye that dwell H7931 in dust: H6083 for H3588 thy dew H2919 is as the dew H2919 of herbs, H219 and the earth H776 shall cast out H5307 the dead. H7496 [20] Come, H3212 my people, H5971 enter H935 thou into thy chambers, H2315 and shut H5462 thy doors H1817 about thee: hide H2247 thyself as it were for a little H4592 moment, H7281 until H5704 the indignation H2195 be overpast. H5674 [21] For, behold, the Lord H3068 cometh out H3318 of his place H4725 to punish H6485 the inhabitants H3427 of the earth H776 for H3588 their iniquity: H5771 the earth H776 also shall disclose H1540 H853 her blood, H1818§ and shall no more cover H3680 her slain.

G5011 [7] Ὁδὸς G3598 εὐσεβῶν G2152 εὐθεῖα G2117 ἐγένετο, G1096 καὶ G2532 παρεσκευασμένη G3903 ἡ G3588 ὁδὸς G3598 τῶν G3588 εὐσεβῶν. G2152 [8] Ἡ G3588 γὰρ G1063 ὁδὸς G3598 κυρίου G2962 κρίσις· G2920 ἠλπίσαμεν G1679 ἐπὶ G1909 τῷ G3588 ὀνόματί G3686 σου G4675 καὶ G2532 ἐπὶ G1909 τῇ G3588 μνείᾳ, G3417 [9] ᾗ G3739 ἐπιθυμεῖ G1937 ἡ G3588 ψυχὴ G5590 ἡμῶν. G2257 Ἐκ G1537 νυκτὸς G3571 ὀρθρίζει G3719 τὸ G3588 πνεῦμά G4151 μου G3450 πρὸς G4314 σέ, G4571 ὁ G3588 θεός, G2316 διότι G1360 φῶς G5457 τὰ G3588 προστάγματά σου G4675 ἐπὶ G1909 τῆς G3588 γῆς. G1093 Δικαιοσύνην G1343 μάθετε, G3129 οἱ G3588 ἐνοικοῦντες G1774 ἐπὶ G1909 τῆς G3588 γῆς. G1093 [10] Πέπαυται G3973 γὰρ G1063 ὁ G3588 ἀσεβής, G765 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 μάθῃ G3129 δικαιοσύνην G1343 ἐπὶ G1909 τῆς G3588 γῆς, G1093 ἀλήθειαν G225 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 ποιήσῃ· G4160 ἀρθήτω G142 ὁ G3588 ἀσεβής, G765 ἵνα G2443 μὴ G3361 ἴδῃ G1492 τὴν G3588 δόξαν G1391 κυρίου.
