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.
9 At night I long for you with my whole being;my spirit within me watches for you.When your judgments are at work in the earth,those living in the world learn righteousness.
10 When the wicked are favored, they don’t learn righteousness;even among those who do right they do wrong,and they fail to see the Lord’s majesty.
