1
At that time people will sing this song in Judah: We have a strong city. God protects us with its strong walls and defenses.
2
Open the gates, and the good people will enter, those who follow God.
3
You, Lord, give true peace to those who depend on you, because they trust you.
4
So, trust the Lord always, because he is our Rock forever.
5
He will destroy the proud city, and he will punish the people living there. He will bring that high city down to the ground and throw it down into the dust.
6
Then those who were hurt by the city will walk on its ruins; those who were made poor by the city will trample it under their feet.
7
The path of life is level for those who are right with God; Lord, you make the way of life smooth for those people.
8
But, Lord, we are waiting for your way of justice. Our souls want to remember you and your name.
