CHAP. XXVI.
WE have a City very strong, God will appoint salvation, Her walls and bulwarks for to be, verse 2 Set open ye the gates, that so The righteous nation in may go, that doth observe the verity. verse 3 In perfect peace keep him thou wilt Whose thoughtful mind on thee is built, Because he doth on thee rely. verse 4 Trust in the Lord for evermore. For in the Lord Jehovah store of strength is to eternity.
verse 5 For he brings down who dwell on high• The lofty city low makes lye: He lays it low even to the floor Even to the dust he hath it thrown. verse 6 The poor mans feet shall tread it down, The feet and steps of the' needy poor, verse 7 Uprightness is the just mans way, Thou most upright his path dost weigh. verse 8 Yea in thy judgments way O Lord, We waited have for thee, the same Our souls desire is to thy Name, And thee in mind still to record.
