2. Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in.
3. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.
4. Trust ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jehovah, even Jehovah, is an everlasting rock.
5. For he hath brought 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 that art upright dost direct the path of the just.
8. Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial name, is the desire of our soul.
9. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10. Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah.
11. Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see thy zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.
12. Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou hast also wrought all our works for us.
13. O Jehovah our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
14. They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish.
15. Thou hast increased the nation, O Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.
