2 Open the gatesthat the righteous nation may enter,the nation that keeps faith.
3 You will keep in perfect peacethose whose minds are steadfast,because they trust in you.
4 Trust in the Lord for ever,for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.
5 He humbles those who dwell on high,he lays the lofty city low;he levels it to the groundand casts it down to the dust.
6 Feet trample it down –the feet of the oppressed,the footsteps of the poor.
7 The path of the righteous is level;you, the Upright One, make the way of the righteous smooth.
8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,we wait for you;your name and renownare the desire of our hearts.
