CLV(i)
1 In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah:"Behold! A strong city is ours! And our salvation shall He set for walls and a rampart."
2 Open the gates, and the righteous nation shall enter, keeping truths."
3 It is formed to support the preservation of welfare, welfare that trusts in You."
4 Trust in Yahweh for the futures of the future. For in Yah, Yahweh is a Rock for the eons."
5 For he prostrates the dwellers of the height. The impregnable town, He shall lay it low. He is laying it low, unto the earth; it is attaining unto the soil."
6 The foot shall tramp on it, the feet of the humble, the footfalls of the poor."
7 The path for the righteous will be straightened. The upright round of the righteous wilt You balance.
8 Indeed, in the path of Your judgments, Yahweh, we expect You. To Your name and to Your law is the yearning of our soul."
9 With my soul I yearn for You in the night. Indeed, with my spirit within me I will seek You early. For as a light are Your judgments to the earth, the dwellers of the habitance learn righteousness."
10 If grace is shown to the wicked, he will fail to learn righteousness, in a land of correctness, he will commit iniquity, and will fail to see the pride of Yahweh."
11 Yahweh, Your exalted hand they will fail to perceive. Yet they shall perceive and be shamed by the zeal of the disciplined people. Indeed, the fire of Your foes will devour them."
12 Yahweh, our Elohim, You are the Setter of welfare on the hearthstones for us, for, moreover, all our doings You do contrive for us."
13 Yahweh, our Elohim, lords possessed us besides You; only in You are we mentioning Your name."
14 The death-doomed will fail to live, and healers will fail to rise. Wherefore You wilt check over and exterminate them, and destroy every remembrance of them."
15 You wilt add to the nation, Yahweh; You wilt add to the nation. Glorified are You. Far do You extend all the ends of the land."
16 Yahweh, in distress they note You. Distress, as a whisper, is Your discipline for them."
17 As the pregnant is coming near to bear, she will travail. She will cry out in her cramps. So have we become in view of You."
18 Because of fear of You, Yahweh, are we pregnant. We travail, as though we generate wind. We are failing to execute Your salvation on the earth, and the dwellers of the habitance are failing to fall."
19 Live shall your death-doomed! Their carcasses shall rise! Awake and jubilate, tabernaclers of the soil! For a night mist of lights is your night mist. And the land is causing the healers to fall."
20 Go, my people! Come into your chambers, and close your doors about you. Hide for a little moment, till the menace shall pass."
21 For, behold Yahweh faring forth from His holy place to visit the depravity of the earth's dweller upon it. And its blood is exposed by the earth, and no longer shall it cover over its killed."
