26 In that day, everyone in the land of Judah will sing this song: We are surrounded by the walls of God’s salvation. 2 Open the gates to all who are righteous; allow the faithful to enter. 3 You will keep in perfect peace all whose thoughts are fixed on you! 4 Trust in the LORD always, for the LORD GOD is the eternal Rock. 5 He humbles the proud He brings it down to the dust. 6 The poor and oppressed trample it underfoot, and the needy walk all over it. 7 But for those who are righteous, and you smooth out the path ahead of them. 8 LORD, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws; our heart’s desire is to glorify your name. 9 In the night I search for you; will people learn what is right. 10 Your kindness to the wicked and take no notice of the LORD’s majesty. 11 O LORD, they pay no attention to your upraised fist. Let your fire consume your enemies. 12 LORD, you will grant us peace; all we have accomplished is really from you. 13 O LORD our God, others have ruled us, but you alone are the one we worship. 14 Those we served before are dead and gone. and they are long forgotten. 15 O LORD, you have made our nation great; and we give you the glory! 16 LORD, in distress we searched for you. We prayed beneath the burden of your discipline. 17 Just as a pregnant woman so were we in your presence, LORD. 18 We, too, writhe in agony, nor brought life into the world. 19 But those who die in the LORD will live; on your people in the place of the dead! 20 Go home, my people, until the LORD’s anger has passed. 21 Look! The LORD is coming from heaven They will be brought out for all to see.
