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.”
