2 Open ye the gates, that enter may a righteous nation,  Preserving stedfastness.
         
                                
                        3 An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace -- peace!  For in Thee it is confident.
         
                                
                        4 Trust ye in Jehovah for ever, For in Jah Jehovah [is] a  rock of ages,
         
                                
                        5 For He bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high  He maketh low, He maketh it low unto the earth, He causeth it  to come unto the dust,
         
                                
                        6 Tread it down doth a foot, Feet of the poor -- steps of the  weak.
         
                                
                        7 The path for the righteous [is] uprightness, O upright One,  The path of the righteous Thou dost ponder.
         
                                
                        8 Also, [in] the path of Thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have  waited [for] Thee, To Thy name and to Thy remembrance [Is] the  desire of the soul.
