¹In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

¹Sel päeval lauldakse Juudamaal seda laulu: Meil on tugev linn, pääste on pandud müürideks ja kaitsevalliks.

²Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

²Avage väravad, et saaks sisse minna õige rahvas, kes püsib usus!

³Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

³Kindlameelsele sa hoiad rahu, rahu, sest ta loodab sinu peale.

⁴Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

⁴Lootke alati Issanda peale, sest Issand Jumal on igavene kalju.

⁵For 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.

⁵Sest tema langetab need, kes elavad kõrgel, ligipääsmatu linna; ta alandab seda, alandab maani, paiskab põrmu.

⁶The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.

⁶Seda tallab jalg, õnnetute jalad, viletsate sammud.

⁷The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.

⁷Õigete tee on tasane, sina sillutad siledaks õigete raja.

⁸Yea, 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.

⁸Issand! Me ootame sind ka su kohtumõistmiste teel, hing igatseb su nime ja su mälestust.

⁹With 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.

⁹Mu hing igatseb sind öösel, vaimgi mu sees otsib sind, sest kui sinu kohtumõistmised tabavad maad, õpivad ilmamaa elanikud õiglust.

¹⁰Let 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.

¹⁰Leiab aga õel armu, ei õpi ta õiglust, õigusemaalgi teeb ta ülekohut ega näe Issanda kõrgust.

¹¹LORD, 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.

¹¹Issand, sinu käsi on tõstetud kõrgele, aga nad ei näe seda. Nähku nad siis su püha viha rahva pärast ja häbenegu! Jah, neelaku neid tuli kui sinu vaenlasi!

¹²LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.

¹²Issand, sina saadad meile rahu, sest kõik meie teodki oled sina teinud.

¹³O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.

¹³Issand, meie Jumal! Meid on valitsenud muud isandad peale sinu - me kiidame üksnes sind, sinu nime.

¹⁴They 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.

¹⁴Surnud ei ärka ellu, kadunud ei tõuse üles. Sest sina nuhtlesid neid ja hävitasid nad ning kaotasid neist iga mälestuse.

¹⁵Thou 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.

¹⁵Sina oled lisanud rahvast, Issand, oled lisanud rahvast, oled näidanud oma au, oled laiendanud kõik maa piirid.

¹⁶LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

¹⁶Issand, nad otsisid sind kitsikuses, sosistasid lausumisi, kui sina neid karistasid.

¹⁷Like 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.

¹⁷Otsekui lapseootel olija, kel sünnitus ligineb, vaevleb ja kisendab oma valudes, nõnda olime meiegi sinu ees, Issand.

¹⁸We 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.

¹⁸Me olime lapseootel, vaevlesime, aga otsekui oleksime sünnitanud tuult: päästet me maale ei toonud ja ilmamaa elanikke ei sündinud.

¹⁹Thy 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.

¹⁹Aga sinu surnud ärkavad ellu, minu laibad tõusevad üles. Ärgake ja hõisake, põrmus lamajad! Sest sinu kaste on valguse kaste ja maa paiskab välja kadunud.

²⁰Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

²⁰Tule, mu rahvas, mine oma kambritesse ja sule uksed enese tagant, peitu üürikeseks ajaks, kuni raev möödub.

²¹For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

²¹Sest vaata, Issand väljub oma asupaigast nuhtlema maa elanikke nende ülekohtu pärast. Siis paljastab maa oma veresüü ega kata enam neid, kes ta peal on tapetud.
