1 In that yawam (day), this shayar (song) will be shayar (sung) in the aratz (Earth/land) of Yahawadah (Judah): “We have a iz (strong) iyar (city). Alahayam () appoints yashawaih (salvation) for chawamawath (walls) and chayal (bulwarks).
2 Pathach (open) the shairayam (gates), that the tzadayaq (righteous) gaway (heathen / nation) may bawaa (bring): the one which shamar (keep/guard) amawan (faith).
3 You will natzar (keep) whoever's yatzar (mind) is steadfast in shalawam (peace / safety) shalawam (peace / safety), because he batach (trusts) in you.
4 Batach (trust) in Yahawah () id (until / as far as); for in Yah (), Yahawah (), is an iwalam (forever) tzawar (rock).
5 For he has shachach (brought) down those who yashab (inhabit/dwell) on marawam (high), the shagab (lofty) qarayah (city / town). He shapal (lays) it low. He shapal (lays) it low even to the aratz (Earth/land). He nagai (brings) it even to the ipar (dust).
6 The ragal (feet / foot) shall ramas (tread) it down; Even the ragalay (feet) of the inay (poor), and the paimay (steps) of the dal (needy).”
7 The arach (way) of the tzadayaq (righteous) is uprightness. You who are yashar (upright) palas (make) the maigal (path) of the tzadayaq (righteous) level.
8 Yes, in the arach (way) of your mashapat (judgments), Yahawah (), have we qawah (gather/wait) for you. Your sham (name) and your renown are the thaawah (desire) of our napash (soul).
9 With my napash (soul) have I awah (desired) you in the layal (night). Yes, with my rawach (spirit / wind) qarab (among / near) me will I shachar (seek) you earnestly; for when your mashapat (judgments) are in the aratz (Earth/land), the yashabay (inhabitants) of the thabal (world) lamad (teach / instruct) tzadaq (righteous / just / fair).
10 Let favor be shown to the rashai (wicked), yet he will not lamad (teach / instruct) tzadaq (righteous / just / fair). In the aratz (Earth/land) of nakachah (uprightness) he will iwal (deal) wrongfully, and will not raah (see) Yahawah () gaawath (majesty).
11 Yahawah (), your yad (hand) is rawam (will lift up) up, yet they don't chazah (see); but they will chazah (see) your qanaah (zeal) for the im (nation / people), and be disappointed. Yes, ash (fire) will akal (eat) your tzar (oppressor / distressor).
12 Yahawah (), you will shapath (ordain) shalawam (peace / safety) for us, for you have also pail (worked) all our maishah (works) for us.
13 Yahawah () our Alahayam (), other lords zawalah (besides) you bail (have) had dominion over us, but by you only will we zakar (remember) mention of your sham (name).
14 The mawath (death) shall not chayah (live). The rapaa (deceased) shall not qawam (rise up). Therefore paqad (visit) you visited and destroyed them, and caused all zakar (remember) of them to abad (destroy / perish).
15 You have yasap (increased) the gaway (heathen / nation), O Yahawah (). You have yasap (increased) the gaway (heathen / nation)! You are kabad (glorified)! You have enlarged all the borders of the aratz (Earth/land).
16 Yahawah (), in tzar (oppressor / distressor) they paqad (visit) visited you. They tzawaq (poured) out a lachash (prayer) when your mawasar (chastening) was on them.
17 Kamaw (like) as a harah (woman) with child, who qarab (come close) near the yalad (birth / begot) of her delivery, is in chawal (pain) and zaiq (cries) out in her chabal (pangs); so we have been panayam (face) you, Yahawah ().
18 We have harah (been) with child. We have been in chawal (pain). We gave yalad (birth / begot), it seems, only to rawach (spirit / wind). We ishah (make) not worked any yashawaih (salvation) in the aratz (Earth/land); bal (neither) have the yashabay (inhabitants) of the thabal (world) napal (fall / be cast down).
19 Your mawath (death) shall chayah (live). My nabalah (dead) bodies shall qawam (rise up). Qawatz (awake) and ranan (sing), you who shakan (place) in the ipar (dust); for your tal (dew) is like the tal (dew) of awarath (herbs), and the aratz (Earth/land) will napal (fall / be cast down) forth the rapaa (dead).
20 Yalak (come), my im (nation / people), bawaa (bring) into your rooms, and sagar (shut) your dalath (doors) behind you. Chabah (hide) yourself for a mait (little) ragai (in an instance), until the zaim (indignation) is past.
21 For, behold, Yahawah () yatzaa (go out / come out) forth out of his maqawam (place) to paqad (visit) the yashab (inhabit/dwell) of the aratz (Earth/land) for their iwan (guilt/iniquity). The aratz (Earth/land) also will galah (disclose) her dam (blood), and will no longer kasah (cover) her harag (kill).
