## Yahweh Will Establish Peace
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; He sets up walls and ramparts for salvation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter, The one that keeps faithfulness.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace Because he trusts in You.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
Trust in Yahweh forever, For in Yah--Yahweh _Himself_--_we have_ an everlasting Rock.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
For He has laid low those who settle on high, the exalted city; He brings it low, He brings it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
The foot will trample it, The feet of the afflicted, the steps of the poor."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
The way of the righteous is upright; O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
Indeed, _while following_ the way of Your judgments, O Yahweh, We have hoped for You eagerly; Your name--the memory of You--is the desire of _our_ souls.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
At night my soul longs for You, Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You earnestly; For when the earth experiences Your judgments, The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
_Though_ the wicked is shown favor, He does not learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, And does not perceive the majesty of Yahweh.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
O Yahweh, Your hand is raised up _high_, _yet_ they do not behold it. They behold _Your_ zeal for the people and are put to shame; Indeed, fire will devour Your adversaries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
Yahweh, You will establish peace for us, Since You have also performed for us all our works.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
O Yahweh our God, other masters besides You have ruled us; _But_ through You alone we bring Your name to remembrance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
The dead will not live; the departed spirits will not rise; Therefore You have visited and destroyed them, And You have made all remembrance of them perish.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
You have increased the nation, O Yahweh; You have increased the nation, You are glorified; You have extended all the borders of the land.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
O Yahweh, they visited You in distress; They could only whisper a prayer; Your chastening was upon them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
As the woman with child draws near to _the time_ to give birth, She writhes _and_ cries out in her pangs of labor, Thus were we before You, O Yahweh.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
We were with child, we writhed _in labor_; We gave birth, as it seems, _only_ to wind. We could not accomplish salvation for the earth, And the inhabitants of the world were not born.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
Your dead will live; Their corpses will rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and shout for joy, For your dew _is as_ the dew of the dawn, And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
Come, my people, enter into your rooms And close your doors behind you; Hide for a little while Until indignation passes by.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
For behold, Yahweh is about to come out from His place To visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth; And the earth will reveal her bloodshed And will no longer cover those of hers who were killed.
