  26:1 ¶
In that day they shall sing this song in the land of Judah{gr.Judea}; Behold a strong city; and he shall make salvation [its] wall and bulwark. |
|
26:1 ¶
In thatº
dayº
shall thisº
songº
be sungºº
in the landº
of Judah;º
We have a strongº
city;º
salvationº
will [Yahweh] appointºº
[for] wallsº
and bulwarks.º |
|
26:2
Open ye the gates, let the nation enter that keeps righteousness, and keeps truth, |
26:2
Openºº
ye the gates,º
that the righteousº
nationº
which keepethºº
the truthº
may enter in.ºº |
|
26:3
supporting truth, and keeping peace: for on thee, O Lord, |
26:3
Thou wilt keepºº
[him] in perfectº
peace,º
[whose] mindº
[is] stayedºº
[on thee]: becauseº
he trustethºº
in thee. |
|
26:4
they have trusted with confidence for ever, the great, the eternal God; |
26:4
Trustºº
ye in Yahwehº
for ever:ºº
forº
in Yahº
YAHWEHº
[is] everlastingº
strength:º |
|
26:5 ¶
who hast humbled and brought down them that dwell on high thou shalt cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground. |
26:5 ¶
Forº
he bringeth downºº
them that dwellºº
on high;º
the loftyºº
city,º
he layeth it low;ºº
he layeth it low,ºº
[even] toº
the ground;º
he bringethºº
it [even] toº
the dust.º |
|
26:6
And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them. |
26:6
The footº
shall tread it down,ºº
[even] the feetº
of the poor,º
[and] the stepsº
of the needy.º |
|
26:7
The way of the godly is made straight: the way of the godly is also prepared. |
26:7
The wayº
of the justº
[is] uprightness:º
thou, most upright,º
dost weighºº
the pathº
of the just.º |
|
26:8
For the way of the Lord is judgement: we have hoped in thy name, and on the remembrance [of thee], |
26:8
Yea,º
in the wayº
of thy judgments,º
O Yahweh,º
have we waitedºº
for thee; the desireº
of [our] soulº
[is] to thy name,º
and to the remembranceº
of thee. |
|
26:9
which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks thee very early in the morning, O God, for thy commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, ye that dwell upon the earth. |
26:9
With my soulº
have I desiredºº
thee in the night;º
yea,º
with my spiritº
withinº
me will I seek thee early:ºº
forº
whenº
thy judgmentsº
[are] in the earth,º
the inhabitantsºº
of the worldº
will learnºº
righteousness.º |
|
26:10
For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord. |
26:10
Let favour be shewedºº
to the wicked,º
[yet] will he notº
learnºº
righteousness:º
in the landº
of uprightnessº
will he deal unjustly,ºº
and will notº
beholdºº
the majestyº
of Yahweh.º |
|
26:11
O Lord, thine arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealously shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries. |
26:11
Yahweh,º
[when] thy handº
is lifted up,ººº
they will notº
see:ºº
[but] they shall see,ºº
and be ashamedºº
for [their] envyº
at the people;º
yea,º
the fireº
of thine enemiesº
shall devourºº
them. |
|
26:12 ¶
O Lord our God, give us peace: for thou hast rendered to us all things. |
26:12 ¶
Yahweh,º
thou wilt ordainºº
peaceº
for us: forº
thou alsoº
hast wroughtºº
allº
our worksº
in us. |
|
26:13
O Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not [any] other beside thee: we name thy name. |
26:13
O Yahwehº
our Elohim,º
[other] adonimº
besideº
thee have had dominionºº
over us: [but] by thee onlyº
will we make mentionºº
of thy name.º |
|
26:14
But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up: therefore thou hast brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and hast taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord; |
26:14
[They are] dead,ºº
they shall notº
live;ºº
[they are] deceased,º
they shall notº
rise:ºº
thereforeº
hast thou visitedºº
and destroyedºº
them, and made allº
their memoryº
to perish.ºº |
|
26:15
bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth. |
26:15
Thou hast increasedºº
the nation,º
O Yahweh,º
thou hast increasedºº
the nation:º
thou art glorified:ºº
thou hadst removed [it] farºº
[unto] allº
the endsº
of the earth.º |
|
26:16
Lord, in affliction I remembered thee; thy chastening was to us with small affliction. |
26:16
Yahweh,º
in troubleº
have they visitedºº
thee, they poured outºº
a prayerº
[when] thy chasteningº
[was] upon them. |
|
26:17
And as a woman in travail draws nigh to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to thy beloved. |
26:17
Likeº
asº
a woman with child,º
[that] draweth nearºº
the time of her delivery,ºº
is in pain,ºº
[and] crieth outºº
in her pangs;º
soº
have we beenº
in thy sight,ºº
O Yahweh.º |
|
26:18
We have conceived, O Lord, because of thy fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of thy salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall. |
26:18
We have been with child,ºº
we have been in pain,ºº
we have as it wereº
brought forthºº
wind;º
we have notº
wroughtºº
any deliveranceº
in the earth;º
neitherº
have the inhabitantsºº
of the worldº
fallen.ºº |
|
26:19
The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from thee is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish. |
26:19
Thy deadºº
[men] shall live,ºº
[together with] my dead bodyº
shall they arise.ºº
Awakeºº
and sing,ºº
ye that dwellºº
in dust:º
forº
thy dewº
[is as] the dewº
of herbs,º
and the earthº
shall cast outºº
the dead.º |
|
26:20 ¶
Go, my people, enter into thy closets, shut thy door, hide thyself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away. |
26:20 ¶
Come,ººº
my people,º
enterºº
thou into thy chambers,º
and shutºº
thy doorsº
aboutº
thee: hideºº
thyself as it were for a littleº
moment,º
untilº
the indignationº
be overpast.ºº |
|
26:21
For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain. |
26:21
For,º
behold,º
Yahwehº
comethº
outºº
of his placeºº
to punishºº
the inhabitantsºº
of the earthº
for their iniquity:º
the earthº
also shall discloseººº
her blood,º
and shall noº
moreº
coverººº
her slain.ºº |
