1. In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah: A strong city is ours; He sets up salvation as our walls and rampart.
|
1. In that H1931 day H3117 shall this H2088 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 the gates, and the righteous nation shall come in, keeping faithfulness.
|
2. Open H6605 ye the gates H8179 , that the righteous H6662 nation H1471 which keepeth H8104 the truth H529 may enter in H935 .
|
|
3. You will keep in perfect peace the mind stayed on You, for he trusts in You.
|
3. Thou wilt keep H5341 him in perfect peace H7965 H7965 , whose mind H3336 is stayed H5564 on thee : because H3588 he trusteth H982 in thee.
|
|
4. Trust in Jehovah forever, for in Jah Jehovah is everlasting strength.
|
4. Trust H982 ye in the LORD H3068 forever H5704 H5703 : for H3588 in the LORD H3050 JEHOVAH H3068 is everlasting H5769 strength H6697 :
|
|
5. For He bows the dwellers on high; He lays low the lofty city; He lays it low to the ground; He makes it touch even to the dust.
|
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 H5704 the ground H776 ; he bringeth H5060 it even to H5704 the dust H6083 .
|
|
6. The foot shall trample it, the feet of the poor, steps of the weak.
|
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 path for the just is uprightness. Upright One, level the track of the just.
|
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, Jehovah, in the path of Your judgments we awaited You; for Your name and for Your memory is the desire of our soul.
|
8. Yea H637 , 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 I desire You in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I diligently seek You. For when Your judgments are in the earth, those living in the world learn righteousness.
|
9. With my soul H5315 have I desired H183 thee in the night H3915 ; yea H637 , with my spirit H7307 within H7130 me will I seek thee early H7836 : for H3588 when H834 thy judgments H4941 are in the earth H776 , the inhabitants H3427 of the world H8398 will learn H3925 righteousness H6664 .
|
|
10. The wicked finds favor; he does not learn righteousness; he deals perversely in the land of honesty, and does not see the majesty of Jehovah.
|
10. Let favor be showed 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. Jehovah, Your hand is high; they do not see; they see and are ashamed of the zeal of the people. Yea, the fire of Your foes devours them.
|
11. LORD H3068 , when thy hand H3027 is lifted up H5375 , they will not H1077 see H2372 : but they shall see H2372 , and be ashamed H954 for their envy H7068 at the people H5971 ; yea H637 , the fire H784 of thine enemies H6862 shall devour H398 them.
|
|
12. Jehovah, You will ordain peace for us; for also You have worked all our works for us.
|
12. LORD H3068 , thou wilt ordain H8239 peace H7965 for us: for H3588 thou also H1571 hast wrought H6466 all H3605 our works H4639 in us.
|
|
13. Jehovah our God, masters beside You have governed us; only in You we will mention Your name.
|
13. O LORD H3068 our God H430 , other lords H113 beside H2108 thee have had dominion H1166 over us: but by thee only H905 will we make mention H2142 of thy name H8034 .
|
|
14. Dead ones do not live; departed spirits do not rise; because of this You visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
|
14. They are dead H4191 , they shall not H1077 live H2421 ; they are deceased H7496 , they shall not H1077 rise H6965 : therefore H3651 hast thou visited H6485 and destroyed H8045 them , and made all H3605 their memory H2143 to perish H6 .
|
|
15. You have added to the nation, Jehovah; You have added to the nation, You are glorified; You have put far off all the ends of the land.
|
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 H3605 the ends H7099 of the earth H776 .
|
|
16. Jehovah, they visited You in distress; they poured out a whisper; Your chastening was to them.
|
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. As a woman with child draws near to bear, she writhes and cries out in her pangs. So are we before You, Jehovah.
|
17. Like as H3644 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 H1961 in thy sight H4480 H6440 , O LORD H3068 .
|
|
18. We conceived; we writhe; as it were, we gave birth to wind. We have not worked salvation for the earth; and those living in the world have not fallen.
|
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 H1077 wrought H6213 any deliverance H3444 in the earth H776 ; neither H1077 have the inhabitants H3427 of the world H8398 fallen H5307 .
|
|
19. Your dead ones shall live, my dead body, they shall rise up. Awake and sing, dust dwellers; for the dew of lights is your dew; and the earth shall cast out departed spirits.
|
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, My people, go in your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide for a little moment, until the fury passes.
|
20. Come H1980 , my people H5971 , enter H935 thou into thy chambers H2315 , and shut H5462 thy doors H1817 about H1157 thee: hide H2247 thyself as it were for a little H4592 moment H7281 , until H5704 the indignation H2195 be overpast H5674 .
|
|
21. For, behold, Jehovah comes out of His place to visit his iniquity on those dwelling on the earth. The earth shall also reveal her blood, and shall no more cover over her slain ones.
|
21. For H3588 , behold H2009 , the LORD H3068 cometh H3318 out of his place H4480 H4725 to punish H6485 the inhabitants H3427 of the earth H776 for their iniquity H5771 : the earth H776 also shall disclose H1540 H853 her blood H1818 , and shall no H3808 more H5750 cover H3680 H5921 her slain H2026 .
