1
In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; he sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks.
2
Open the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps faith may enter in.
3
Thou dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee.
4
Trust in the LORD for ever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.
5
For he has brought low the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city. He lays it low, lays it low to the ground, casts it to the dust.
6
The foot tramples it, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy."
