¹ In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah. The city of our strength; the saviour shall be set therein, the wall and the forewall, either a stronghold before the wall.

² Open ye the gates, and the just [or rightwise] folk shall enter, keeping truth.

³ The eld [or old] error is gone away; thou shalt keep peace, peace, for thou, Lord, we hoped in thee.

⁴ Ye have hoped in the Lord, in everlasting worlds, in the Lord God, strong without end.

⁵ For he shall bow down them that dwell on high, and he shall make low an high city; he shall make it low till to the earth; he shall draw it down till to the dust.

⁶ The foot of a poor man shall defoul it, and the steps of needy men shall defoul it.

⁷ The way of a just man is rightful, the path of a just man is rightful to go. [The way of the rightwise is even, even the path of the rightwise to go.]

⁸ And in the way of thy dooms, Lord, we suffered thee; thy name, and thy memorial is in desire of soul.

⁹ My soul shall desire thee in the night, but also with my spirit in mine entrails; from the morrowtide I shall wake to thee. When thou shalt make thy dooms in [the] earth, all dwellers of the world shall learn rightfulness [or rightwiseness].

¹⁰ Do we mercy to the wicked man, and he shall not learn to do rightwise-ness; in the land of saints he did wicked things, and he shall not see the glory of the Lord.

¹¹ Lord, thine hand be enhanced, that they see not; peoples having envy see, and be shamed, and fire devour thine enemies.

¹² Lord, thou shalt give peace to us, for thou hast wrought all our works in us.

¹³ Our Lord God, lords had us in possession, without thee; only in thee have we mind of thy name.

¹⁴ They that die, live not, and giants, rise not again. Therefore thou hast visited, and hast all-broken them, and thou hast lost all the mind of them;

¹⁵ and Lord, thou hast forgiven to a folk, thou hast forgiven to a folk. Whether thou art glorified? thou hast made far from thee all the ends of [the] earth.

¹⁶ Lord, in anguish they sought thee; in the tribulation of grutching, thy doctrine to them.

¹⁷ As she that conceived, when she nigheth sorrowful to the child bearing, crieth in her sorrows, so we be made, Lord, of thy face.

¹⁸ We have conceived, and we have as travailed of child, and we have childed the spirit of health; we did not rightfulness [or rightwiseness] in earth. Therefore the dwellers of [the] earth fell not down;

¹⁹ thy dead men shall live, and my slain men shall rise again. Ye that dwell in dust, awake, and praise; for why the dew of light is thy dew, and thou shalt draw down the land of giants into falling.

²⁰ Go thou, my people, enter into thy beds, close thy doors on thee, be thou hid a little at a moment, till indignation pass.

²¹ For lo! the Lord shall go out of his place, to visit the wickedness of the dwellers of [the] earth against him; and the earth shall show his blood, and shall no more cover his slain men.
