4Let your hope be in the Lord for ever: for the Lord Jah is an unchanging Rock.
5For he has made low those who are lifted up, all the people of the town of pride: he makes it low, crushing it down to the earth; he makes it low in the dust.
6It will be crushed under the feet of the poor and the steps of those who are in need.
7The way of the good man is straight; the road of the upright is made smooth by you.
8We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.
9In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.
10Even if you are kind to the evil-doer, he will not go after righteousness; even in the land of the upright he will still go on in his wrongdoing, and will not see the glory of the Lord.
