1 The time is comingwhen the people of Judahwill sing this song:“Our city is protected.The Lord is our fortress,and he gives us victory.
2 Open the city gatesfor a law-abiding nationthat is faithful to God.
3 The Lord gives perfect peaceto those whose faith is firm.
4 So always trust the Lordbecause he is for everour mighty rock.
5 God has put down our enemiesin their mountain cityand rubbed it in the dust.
6 Now the poor and abusedtrample all over that city.”
7 Our Lord, you always do right,and you make the path smoothfor those who obey you.
