A Song of Victory

26 The time is coming when the people of Judah will sing this song:

“Our city[a] is protected.
The Lord is our fortress,
    and he gives us victory.
Open the city gates
for a law-abiding nation
    that is faithful to God.
The Lord gives perfect peace
    to those whose faith is firm.

Open the gates(F)
    that the righteous(G) nation may enter,

You will keep in perfect peace(H)
    those whose minds are steadfast,
    because they trust(I) in you.
