A song to praise God

26 At that time, people will sing this song in Judah:

We have a strong city, where we are safe.
The Lord has made it safe,
    like strong walls that protect us all round.[a]
Open the gates of the city,
    so that the righteous nation can come in.
They are the people who continue to be faithful.
Lord, you keep those people safe
    who continue to trust in you.
You give them peace in their minds,
    because they believe in you.
