1 On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
2 Open the gates, and let the righteous nation come in,
3 With perfect peace you will protect those whose minds cannot be changed,
4 Trust the Lord always,
5 He has brought down those who live high in the towering city.
6 Feet trample it,
7 The path of the righteous is level.
8 Certainly, we wait with hope for you, O Lord,
9 With my soul I long for you at night.
10 Although the wicked are shown pity,
11 O Lord, your power is visible, but they do not see it.
12 O Lord, you will establish peace for us,
13 O Lord, our God, you are not the only master to rule us,
14 The wicked are dead.
15 You have expanded the nation, O Lord.
16 O Lord, the people have come to you in trouble.
17 O Lord, when we are with you,
18 We were pregnant; we writhed with labor pains
19 Your dead will live.
20 My people, go to your rooms,
21 The Lord is going to come out from his dwelling place
