- Kapitel 26 -

1
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Iudah, We haue a strong citie: saluation shall God set for walles and bulwarkes.
2
Open ye the gates that the righteous nation, which keepeth the trueth, may enter in.
3
By an assured purpose wilt thou preserue perfite peace, because they trusted in thee.
4
Trust in the Lord for euer: for in the Lord God is strength for euermore.
5
For hee will bring downe them that dwell on hie: the hie citie he will abase: euen vnto the ground wil he cast it downe, and bring it vnto dust.
6
The foote shall treade it downe, euen the feete of the poore, and the steppes of the needie.
7
The way of the iust is righteousnesse: thou wilt make equall the righteous path of the iust.
8
Also we, O Lord, haue waited for thee in the way of thy iudgemets: the desire of our soule is to thy Name, and to the remembrance of thee.
9
With my soule haue I desired thee in the night, and with my spirit within mee will I seeke thee in the morning: for seeing thy iudgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learne righteousnesse.
10
Let mercie bee shewed to the wicked, yet hee will not learne righteousnesse: in the land of vprightnesse will he do wickedly, and will not beholde the maiestie of the Lord.
11
O Lord, they will not beholde thine hie hande: but they shall see it, and bee confounded with the zeale of the people, and the fire of thine enemies shall deuoure them.
12
Lord, vnto vs thou wilt ordeine peace: for thou also hast wrought all our workes for vs.
13
O Lord our God, other lords beside thee, haue ruled vs, but we will remember thee onely, and thy Name.
14
The dead shall not liue, neither shall the dead arise, because thou hast visited and scattered them, and destroyed all their memorie.
15
Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord: thou hast increased the nation: thou art made glorious: thou hast enlarged all the coastes of the earth.
16
Lord, in trouble haue they visited thee: they powred out a prayer when thy chastening was vpon them.
17
Like as a woman with childe, that draweth neere to the trauaile, is in sorow, and cryeth in her paines, so haue we bene in thy sight, O Lord.
18
We haue coceiued, we haue borne in paine, as though we should haue brought forth winde: there was no helpe in the earth, neither did the inhabitants of the world fall.
19
Thy dead men shall liue: euen with my body shall they rise. Awake, and sing, ye that dwel in dust: for thy dewe is as the dew of herbes, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20
Come, my people: enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doores after thee: hide thy selfe for a very litle while, vntill the indignation passe ouer.
21
For lo, the Lord commeth out of his place, to visite the iniquitie of the inhabitants of the earth vpon them: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more hide her slaine.
1
In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah:We have a strong city. God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
2
Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.
3
You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you.
4
Trust in the LORD forever; for in the LORD, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
5
For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city. He lays it low. He lays it low even to the ground. He brings 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. You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
8
Yes, in the way of your judgments, LORD, we have waited for you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul.
9
With my soul I have desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me I will seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10
Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD’s majesty.
11
LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they don’t see; but they will see your zeal for the people and be disappointed. Yes, fire will consume your adversaries.
12
LORD, you will ordain peace for us, for you have also done all our work for us.
13
LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us, but we will only acknowledge your name.
14
The dead shall not live. The departed spirits shall not rise. Therefore you have visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
15
You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the land.
16
LORD, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.
17
Just as a woman with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and cries out in her pangs, so we have been before you, LORD.
18
We have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems, only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19
Your dead shall live. Their dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.
20
Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
21
For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.
