4 Trust in the Lord forever,

for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.

5 He humbles those who dwell on high,

he lays the lofty city low;

he levels it to the ground

and casts it down to the dust.

6 Feet trample it down—

the feet of the oppressed,

the footsteps of the poor.

7 The path of the righteous is level;

you, the Upright One, make the way of the righteous smooth.

8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,

we wait for you;

your name and renown

are the desire of our hearts.

4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever:

For in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

5 For he bringeth 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, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.

8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee;

The desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.

4 Trust in the Lord always,

for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.

5 He humbles the proud

and brings down the arrogant city.

He brings it down to the dust.

6 The poor and oppressed trample it underfoot,

and the needy walk all over it.

7 But for those who are righteous,

the way is not steep and rough.

You are a God who does what is right,

and you smooth out the path ahead of them.

8 Lord, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws;

our heart’s desire is to glorify your name.

4 Trust in the Lord forever,

For in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength.

5 For He brings down those who dwell on high,

The lofty city;

He lays it low,

He lays it low to the ground,

He brings it down to the dust.

6 The foot shall tread it down—

The feet of the poor

And the steps of the needy.”

7 The way of the just is uprightness;

O Most Upright,

You weigh the path of the just.

8 Yes, in the way of Your judgments,

O Lord, we have waited for You;

The desire of our soul is for Your name

And for the remembrance of 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.

4 Trust ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jehovah, even 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 upright dost direct the path of the just.

8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial name, is the desire of our soul.

4 Confide ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jah, Jehovah, is the rock of ages.

5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low, he layeth it low to the ground, he bringeth it even to the dust. 6 The foot shall tread it down, —the feet of the afflicted, the steps of the poor. 7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, the Upright, dost make the path of the just even. 8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to thy memorial.

4 Trust the Lord always, 

because the Lord, the Lord alone, is an everlasting rock. 

5 He has brought down those who live high in the towering city. 

He levels it. 

He levels it to the ground and throws it into the dust. 

6 Feet trample it, 

the feet of the oppressed, 

the footsteps of the poor. 

7 The path of the righteous is level. 

O Upright One, you make the road of the righteous smooth. 

8 Certainly, we wait with hope for you, O Lord, 

⸤as we follow⸥ the path of your guiding principles. 

We want to remember you and your name. 

4 Trust in the Lord forever,

because in Yah, the Lord, is an everlasting rock!

5 For He has humbled those who live in lofty places—

an inaccessible city.

He brings it down; He brings it down to the ground;

He throws it to the dust.

6 Feet trample it,

the feet of the humble,

the steps of the poor.

7 The path of the righteous is level;

You clear a straight path for the righteous.

8 Yes, Yahweh, we wait for You

in the path of Your judgments.

Our desire is for Your name and renown.

4 Trust in the Lord forever,

for in the Lord God

you have an everlasting rock.

5 For he has brought low

the inhabitants of the height;

the lofty city he lays low.

He 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.

7 The way of the righteous is level;

O Just One, you make smooth the path of the righteous.

8 In the path of your judgments,

O Lord, we wait for you;

your name and your renown

are the soul’s desire.

4 Trust in Yahweh forever,

for in Yah, Yahweh you have an everlasting rock.

5 For he has thrown down the inhabitants of the height,

he lays low the lofty city.

He lays it low to the ground;

he throws her to the dust.

6 The foot tramples it,

the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.”

7 The way of the righteous is a straight path;

you clear the level path of the righteous.

8 Surely we wait for you in the path of your judgments, Yahweh,

for your name and renown are the desire of the soul.

4 “Trust in the Lord forever.

The Lord is the Rock.

The Lord will keep us safe forever.

5 He brings down those who are proud.

He pulls down cities that have high walls.

They fall down flat on the ground.

He throws them down to the dust.

6 The feet of those who were crushed stomp on them.

Those who were helpless walk all over them.”

7 Lord, you are honest and fair.

You guide those who do what is right.

You lead them on a straight path.

You make their way smooth.

8 Lord, we are living the way your laws command us to live.

We are waiting for you to act.

Our hearts long for you to be true to your name.

That’s what you are known for.

4 “Trust in the Lord forever,

For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock.

5 “For He has brought low those who dwell on high, the unassailable city;

He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.

6 “The foot will trample it,

The feet of the afflicted, the steps of the helpless.”

7 The way of the righteous is smooth;

O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.

8 Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O Lord,

We have waited for You eagerly;

Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.
