4 Trust in the Lord forever,For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.
5 For He brings down those who dwell on high,The lofty city;He lays it low,He lays it low to the ground,He brings it down to the dust.
6 The foot shall tread it down—The feet of the poorAnd the steps of the needy.”
7 The way of the just is uprightness;O Most Upright,You weigh the path of the just.
8 Yes, in the way of Your judgments,O Lord, we have waited for You;The desire of our soul is for Your nameAnd for the remembrance of You.
9 With my soul I have desired You in the night,Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early;For when Your judgments are in the earth,The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10 Let grace be shown to the wicked,Yet he will not learn righteousness;In the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly,And will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
