23:026:004 Trust ye in the lord for ever:
for in the lord Jehovah is
everlasting
strength:
23:026:005 For he bringeth 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.
23:026:006 The foot shall tread it down, even the
feet of the poor, and
the
steps of the needy.
23:026:007 The way of the just is uprightness:
thou, most upright, dost
weigh
the path of the just.
23:026:008 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O lord,
have we waited for
thee;
the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the
remembrance
of thee.
23:026:009 With my soul have I desired thee in the
night; yea, with my
spirit
within me will I seek thee early: for when thy
judgments
are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will
learn
righteousness.
23:026:010 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet
will he not learn
righteousness:
in the land of uprightness will he deal
unjustly,
and will not behold the majesty of the lord.
23:026:011 Lord, when thy hand is lifted up,
they will not see: but they
shall
see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea,
the
fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
23:026:012 Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us:
for thou also hast
wrought
all our works in us.
23:026:013 O lord our God, other lords beside
thee have had dominion over
us:
but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
23:026:014 They are dead, they shall not live; they
are deceased, they
shall
not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed
them,
and made all their memory to perish.
23:026:015 Thou hast increased the nation, O lord,
thou hast increased
the
nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed
it far unto
all
the ends of the earth.
23:026:016 Lord, in trouble have they visited
thee, they poured out a
prayer
when thy chastening was upon them.
23:026:017 Like as a woman with child, that draweth
near the time of her
delivery,
is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we
been
in thy sight, O lord.
23:026:018 We have been with child, we have been in
pain, we have as it
were
brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance
in
the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world
fallen.
23:026:019 Thy dead men shall live, together with
my dead body shall they
arise.
Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy
dew is
as
the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the
dead.
