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.
8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord,have we waited for thee;the desire of our soul is to thy name,and to the remembrance of thee.
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night;yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early:for when thy judgments are in the earth,the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10 Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness:in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly,and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, when thy hand is lifted up,they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamedfor their envy at the people;yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
