2 Open the gates and let a righteous nation enter,a nation that keeps faith.
3 Those with sound thoughts you will keep in peace,in peace because they trust in you.
4 Trust in the Lord forever,for the Lord is a rock for all ages.
5 He has thrown down those living on high,and he will level the lofty town,leveling it down to the earth;he will bring it down to dust.
6 The feet trample it,the feet of the poor,the steps of the needy.
7 The way of the righteous is level;you clear a path for the righteous.
8 In the path of your justice, Lord, we wait for you;with all our being, we long for your name and your acclaim.
