| In
that day shall this song be sung in
the land of Judah; we have a strong
city; salvation will Jah appoint for
walls and bulwarks. Open ye the gates,
that the righteous nation which
keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou
wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose
mind is stayed on thee: because he
trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord
God Jah Rastafari for ever: for the
LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.
For he bringeth down them that
dwell on high; the lost city, he
layeth it low: he layeth it low; even
to the ground; he bringeth it even to
the dust.
The foot shall tread it down, even
the feet of the poor, and the steps of
the needy. The way of the just is
uprightness; thou most upright, dost
weigh the path of the just. Yea, in
the way of thy judgements, O Lord,
have we waited for thee; the desire of
our soul is thy name, and to the
rememberance of thee.
With my soul have I desired thee in
the night; yea with my spirit within
me will I seek thee early; for when
thy judgements are in the earth, the
inhabitants of the world will learn
righteousness.
LET FAVOUR BE SHOWN TO THE WICKED,
YET WILL HE NOT LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS;
IN THE LAND OF UPRIGHTNESS WILL HE
DEAL UNJUSTLY, AND WILL IDIOT BEHOLD
THE MAJESTY OF THE LORD GOD JAH
RASTAFARI.
selah, 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.
Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for
us; for thou also hast wrought all our
works in us.
O Lord our God Jah Rastafari, other
Lords besides thee have had dominion
over us; but by thee only will we make
mention of thy name. 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.
Thou hast increased the nation, O
Lord, thou hast increased the nation;
thou art glorified; thou hast removed
it far unto all the ends of the earth.
Jah, in trouble have they visited
thee; they poured out a prayer when
thy chastening was upon them. Like 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.
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.
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.
Come, 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. For, behold the Lord, God
Jah Rastafari, 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. ISAIAH 26
