A Song of Salvation
In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: Isa 60:18Isa 62:11Zec 2:5Eph 5:19-202Sa 22:1-51Isa 25:9Isa 27:1-2Jer 33:11
We have a strong city;
salvation is established as its walls and ramparts.
Open the gates so a righteous nation may enter— Rev 5:91Pe 2:9Isa 60:11Psa 118:20Isa 62:10Isa 62:2Act 2:47Exo 19:6
one that remains faithful.
You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, Php 4:7Jhn 16:33Jhn 14:27Jer 17:7-8Psa 9:10Rom 5:1Psa 85:7-8Rom 4:18-21
because he trusts in You.
Trust in the LORD forever, Isa 12:2Psa 62:8Php 4:13Psa 55:22Psa 18:2Psa 62:11Pro 3:5-6Psa 46:1
because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.
For He has humbled those who dwell on high; Jer 51:37Job 40:11-13Rev 18:2Isa 13:11Jer 51:25-26Jer 51:64Isa 14:13Isa 2:12
He lays the lofty city low.
He brings it down to the ground;
He casts it into the dust.
Feet trample it down— Luk 10:19Rom 16:20Rev 2:26Jas 2:5Jos 10:241Co 1:26Dan 7:27Isa 25:10
the feet of the oppressed,
the steps of the poor.
The path of the righteous is level; Eph 2:10Isa 42:161Jn 3:101Jn 3:72Co 1:12Job 27:5-6Pro 20:7Psa 11:7
You clear a straight path for the upright.
Yes, we wait for You, O LORD; Jas 5:7-11Psa 37:3-7Isa 33:22Th 3:5Exo 3:15Psa 65:6Act 1:4Rom 8:25
we walk in the path of Your judgments.
Your name and renown
are the desire of our souls.
My soul longs for You in the night; Mat 6:33Psa 119:62Psa 63:1Sng 3:1-4Psa 63:6-7Luk 6:12Mrk 1:35Psa 58:11
indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn. 1
For when Your judgments come upon the earth,
the people of the world learn righteousness.
Though grace is shown to the wicked man, Hos 11:7Jhn 5:37-38Rom 2:4-5Deu 32:15Ecc 3:16Exo 8:15Exo 8:31-32Exo 9:34
he does not learn righteousness.
In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly
and fails to see the majesty of the LORD.
O LORD, Your hand is upraised, Heb 10:27Isa 5:24Mic 5:91Pe 3:161Sa 5:6-111Sa 6:92Th 1:8Act 28:27
but they do not see it.
They will see Your zeal for Your people
and be put to shame.
The fire set for Your enemies
will consume them!
O LORD, You will establish peace for us. Eph 2:10Psa 57:2Psa 29:11Ezk 20:14Deu 30:6Heb 13:20Jer 33:6Isa 57:10
For all that we have accomplished,
You have done for us.
O LORD our God, other lords besides You have had dominion, Isa 2:8Isa 63:72Ch 12:8Amo 6:10Heb 13:15Isa 10:11Isa 12:4Isa 51:22
but Your name alone do we confess.
The dead will not live; Pro 10:7Rev 18:2-3Hab 2:18-20Isa 14:19-22Isa 51:12-13Isa 8:19Psa 106:28Deu 4:28
the departed spirits will not rise.
Therefore You have punished and destroyed them;
You have wiped out all memory of them.
You have enlarged the nation, O LORD; Isa 9:3Deu 10:22Ezk 36:24Ezk 5:12Gen 12:2Gen 13:16Isa 33:17Isa 44:23
You have enlarged the nation.
You have gained glory for Yourself;
You have extended all the borders of the land.
O LORD, they sought You in their distress; Hos 5:15Psa 50:151Sa 1:152Ch 33:12-132Ch 6:37-38Deu 4:29-30Hos 7:14Isa 37:3
when You disciplined them, they poured out a quiet prayer.
As a woman with child about to give birth Isa 13:8Isa 21:3Jhn 16:211Th 5:3Jer 4:31Jer 30:6Jer 6:24Psa 48:6
writhes and cries out in pain,
so were we in Your presence, O LORD.
We were with child; we writhed in pain; Hos 13:13Psa 17:142Ki 19:3Isa 37:3Isa 59:4Isa 33:111Jn 5:191Sa 11:13
but we gave birth to wind.
We have given no salvation to the earth,
nor brought any life into the world.
Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Dan 12:2Ezk 37:1-14Mat 27:52Eph 5:14Hos 13:14Psa 71:20Rev 20:12-13Hos 6:2
Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust!
For your dew is like the dew of the morning,
and the earth will bring forth her dead.
Go, my people, enter your rooms Psa 30:5Psa 27:5Isa 54:7-8Mat 6:6Psa 91:4Pro 18:10Psa 17:82Co 4:17
and shut your doors behind you.
Hide yourselves a little while
until the wrath has passed.
For behold, the LORD is coming out of His dwelling Isa 13:11Jud 1:14-15Rev 6:9-11Isa 18:4Job 16:18Mic 1:3-8Num 35:32-33Rev 16:6
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.
The earth will reveal her bloodshed
and will no longer conceal her slain.
