KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H3117 In that day H7892 shall this song H7891 be sung [H8714] H776 in the land H3063 of Judah H5797 ; We have a strong H5892 city H3444 ; salvation H7896 will God appoint [H8799] H2346 for walls H2426 and bulwarks.

2 H6605 Open [H8798] H8179 ye the gates H6662 , that the righteous H1471 nation H8104 which keepeth [H8802] H529 the truth H935 may enter in [H8799] .

3 H5341 Thou wilt keep [H8799] H7965 him in perfect H7965 peace H3336 , whose mind H5564 is stayed [H8803] H982 on thee : because he trusteth [H8803] in thee.

4 H982 Trust [H8798] H3068 ye in the LORD H5703 for ever H3050 : for in the LORD H3068 JEHOVAH H5769 is everlasting H6697 strength:

5 H7817 For he bringeth down [H8689] H3427 them that dwell [H8802] H4791 on high H7682 ; the lofty [H8737] H7151 city H8213 , he layeth it low [H8686] H8213 ; he layeth it low [H8686] H776 , even to the ground H5060 ; he bringeth [H8686] H6083 it even to the dust.

6 H7272 The foot H7429 shall tread it down [H8799] H7272 , even the feet H6041 of the poor H6471 , and the steps H1800 of the needy.

7 H734 The way H6662 of the just H4339 is uprightness H3477 : thou, most upright H6424 , dost weigh [H8762] H4570 the path H6662 of the just.

8 H734 Yea, in the way H4941 of thy judgments H3068 , O LORD H6960 , have we waited [H8765] H8378 for thee; the desire H5315 of our soul H8034 is to thy name H2143 , and to the remembrance of thee.

9 H5315 With my soul H183 have I desired [H8765] H3915 thee in the night H7307 ; yea, with my spirit H7130 within H7836 me will I seek thee early [H8762] H4941 : for when thy judgments H776 are in the earth H3427 , the inhabitants [H8802] H8398 of the world H3925 will learn [H8804] H6664 righteousness.

10 H2603 Let favour be shewed [H8717] H7563 to the wicked H1077 , yet will he not H3925 learn [H8804] H6664 righteousness H776 : in the land H5229 of uprightness H5765 will he deal unjustly [H8762] H1077 , and will not H7200 behold [H8799] H1348 the majesty H3068 of the LORD.

11 H3068 LORD H3027 , when thy hand H7311 is lifted up [H8804] H2372 , they will not see [H8799] H2372 : but they shall see [H8799] H954 , and be ashamed [H8799] H7068 for their envy H5971 at the people H784 ; yea, the fire H6862 of thine enemies H398 shall devour [H8799] them.

12 H3068 LORD H8239 , thou wilt ordain [H8799] H7965 peace H6466 for us: for thou also hast wrought [H8804] H4639 all our works in us.

13 H3068 O LORD H430 our God H113 , other lords H2108 beside H1166 thee have had dominion [H8804] H2142 over us: but by thee only will we make mention [H8686] H8034 of thy name.

14 H4191 They are dead [H8801] H2421 , they shall not live [H8799] H7496 ; they are deceased H6965 , they shall not rise [H8799] H6485 : therefore hast thou visited [H8804] H8045 and destroyed [H8686] H2143 them, and made all their memory H6 to perish [H8762] .

15 H3254 Thou hast increased [H8804] H1471 the nation H3068 , O LORD H3254 , thou hast increased [H8804] H1471 the nation H3513 : thou art glorified [H8738] H7368 : thou hadst removed it far [H8765] H7099 unto all the ends H776 of the earth.

16 H3068 LORD H6862 , in trouble H6485 have they visited [H8804] H6694 thee, they poured out [H8804] H3908 a prayer H4148 when thy chastening was upon them.

17 H3644 Like H2030 as a woman with child H7126 , that draweth near [H8686] H3205 the time of her delivery [H8800] H2342 , is in pain [H8799] H2199 , and crieth out [H8799] H2256 in her pangs H6440 ; so have we been in thy sight H3068 , O LORD.

18 H2029 We have been with child [H8804] H2342 , we have been in pain [H8804] H3644 , we have as it were H3205 brought forth [H8804] H7307 wind H6213 ; we have not wrought [H8799] H3444 any deliverance H776 in the earth H1077 ; neither H3427 have the inhabitants [H8802] H8398 of the world H5307 fallen [H8799] .

19 H4191 Thy dead [H8801] H2421 men shall live [H8799] H5038 , together with my dead body H6965 shall they arise [H8799] H6974 . Awake [H8685] H7442 and sing [H8761] H7931 , ye that dwell [H8802] H6083 in dust H2919 : for thy dew H2919 is as the dew H219 of herbs H776 , and the earth H5307 shall cast out [H8686] H7496 the dead.

20 H3212 Come [H8798] H5971 , my people H935 , enter [H8798] H2315 thou into thy chambers H5462 , and shut [H8798] H1817 thy doors H2247 about thee: hide [H8798] H4592 thyself as it were for a little H7281 moment H2195 , until the indignation H5674 be overpast [H8799] .

21 H3068 For, behold, the LORD H3318 cometh out [H8802] H4725 of his place H6485 to punish [H8800] H3427 the inhabitants [H8802] H776 of the earth H5771 for their iniquity H776 : the earth H1540 also shall disclose [H8765] H1818 her blood H3680 , and shall no more cover [H8762] H2026 her slain [H8803] .

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks. ² Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth truth may enter in. ³ Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee. ⁴ Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is an everlasting rock. ⁵ For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. ⁶ The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. ⁷ The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art up right dost direct the path of the just. ⁸ Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; to thy name and to thy memorial is the desire of our soul. ⁹ With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. ¹⁰ Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. ¹¹ LORD, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see [thy] zeal for the people, and be ashamed; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries. ¹² LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou hast also wrought all our works for us. ¹³ O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. ¹⁴ [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. ¹⁵ Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified: thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land. ¹⁶ LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening was upon them. ¹⁷ Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, O LORD. ¹⁸ We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. ¹⁹ Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is [as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead. ²⁰ Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. ²¹ For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
