2 Open the gates

that the righteous nation may enter,

the nation that keeps faith.

3 You will keep in perfect peace

those whose minds are steadfast,

because they trust in you.

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.

2 Open the gates,

that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.

3 You keep him in perfect peace

whose mind is stayed on you,

because he trusts in you.

4 Trust in the Lord forever,

for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.

5 For he has humbled

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.”

7 The path of the righteous is level;

you make level the way of the righteous.

2 Open ye the gates,

That the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,

Whose mind is stayed on thee:

Because he trusteth in thee.

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.

2 Open the gates to all who are righteous;

allow the faithful to enter.

3 You will keep in perfect peace

all who trust in you,

all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

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.

2 Open the gates,

That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.

3 You will keep him in perfect peace,

Whose mind is stayed on You,

Because he trusts in You.

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.

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.

2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in. 3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee. 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.

2 Open ye the gates, and the righteous nation which keepeth faithfulness shall enter in. 3 Thou wilt keep in perfect peace the mind stayed on thee, for he confideth in thee. 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.

6 The foot tramples it,

the feet of the poor,

the steps of the needy.

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

6 The foot tramples it,

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

2 Open its gates

so that those who do what is right can enter.

They are the people who remain faithful to God.

3 Lord, you will give perfect peace

to anyone who commits himself to be faithful to you.

That’s because he trusts in you.

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.
