2. Open the city gatesand let the faithful nation enter,the nation whose people do what is right.
3. You, Lord, give perfect peaceto those who keep their purpose firmand put their trust in you.
4. Trust in the Lord for ever;he will always protect us.
5. He has humbled those who were proud;he destroyed the strong city they lived in,and sent its walls crashing into the dust.
6. Those who were oppressed walk over it nowand trample it under their feet.
7. Lord, you make the path smooth for good people;the road they travel is level.
8. We follow your will and put our hope in you;you are all that we desire.
9. At night I long for you with all my heart;when you judge the earth and its people,they will all learn what justice is.
10. Even though you are kind to the wicked,they never learn to do what is right.Even here in a land of righteous people they still do wrong;they refuse to recognize your greatness.
