1. In that day sung is this song in the land of Judah: `We have a strong city, Salvation He doth make walls and bulwark.
|
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 ye the gates, that enter may a righteous nation, Preserving stedfastness.
|
2. Open H6605 ye the gates H8179 , that the righteous H6662 nation H1471 which keepeth H8104 the truth H529 may enter in H935 .
|
|
3. An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace -- peace! For in Thee it is confident.
|
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 ye in Jehovah for ever, For in Jah Jehovah is a rock of ages,
|
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 bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high He maketh low, He maketh it low unto the earth, He causeth it to come unto 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. Tread it down doth a foot, 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 righteous is uprightness, O upright One, The path of the righteous Thou dost ponder.
|
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. Also, in the path of Thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited for Thee, To Thy name and to Thy remembrance Is the desire of the 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 desired Thee in the night, Also, with my spirit within me I seek Thee earnestly, For when Thy judgments are on the earth, The inhabitants of the world have learned 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 findeth favour, He hath not learned righteousness, In a land of straightforwardness he dealeth perversely, And seeth not the excellency 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. O Jehovah, high is Thy hand -- they see not, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire -- Thine adversaries, consumeth 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. O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works also Thou hast wrought 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. O Jehovah our God, lords have ruled us besides Thee, Only, by Thee we make mention of Thy 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 -- they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory.
|
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. Thou hast added to the nation, O Jehovah, Thou hast added to the nation, Thou hast been honoured, Thou hast put far off all the ends of earth.
|
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. O Jehovah, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured out a whisper, Thy chastisement is on 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. When a pregnant woman cometh near to the birth, She is pained -- she crieth in her pangs, So we have been from Thy face, O 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 have conceived, we have been pained. We have brought forth as it were wind, Salvation we do not work in the earth, Nor do the inhabitants of the world fall.
|
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. `Thy dead live -- My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs is thy dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.
|
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, enter into thy inner chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, Hide thyself shortly a moment till the indignation pass over.
|
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, lo, Jehovah is coming out of His place, To charge the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth upon him, And revealed hath the earth her blood, Nor doth she cover any more her slain!`
|
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 .
