THE SONG OF JUDAH

26 On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah:

We have a strong city.

Salvation is established as walls and ramparts.w

2 Open the gates

so a righteous nation can come in—

one that remains faithful.

3 You will keep the mind that is dependent on you

in perfect peace,a

for it is trusting in you.

4 Trust in the Lord forever,

because in the Lord, the Lord himself, is an everlasting rock!b

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

an inaccessible city.c

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.
